Late lunch though... didn't get there until after 3:00 pm. The other folks headed back at different points to meet other obligations.. no mishaps that I know of! Herb was on his Magna in the group, so Ursulina didn't have the only cruiser! I'm still getting the hang of using the GPS, okay? Sheesh! :-) Besides, it's not a REAL group ride if there isn't at least one u-turn! I can't believe I was ever intimidated by an XT350 (my old bike, now Todd's). Todd does have a lot of bikes in his garage! Leed's Manor Road (688) is still my favorite road, and I only scared myself 2x.

It's always great to see everyone. I hope Todd's dirt bike day was as good as ours! ------------------- We had a great time out today. I rode with Kirk Roy and his brother Daryl. Kirk is fortunate to have such an excellent dirt riding area only 3 miles from his house! There are at least 4 distinct wall climbing style areas, a network of tight, twisty, and sometimes muddy trails and a whole bunch of opened areas. If I had to guess I'd say the whole area covers around 12 square miles. That being said, we only put about 30 miles on the bikes today over a 2.5 hour period. What a f-ing blast! Crashes: Me - two and many close calls Daryl(crash king) - at least three that I saw, one bad one into Kirk at relatively high speed Kirk - just the one Daryl caused This was my first "real" dirt riding experience and I'm amazed I don't have any scrapes or broken bones. Some of the hills we were climbing were a good 30-40 feet high and at close to 60 degrees angle. At one point we were competing for how much distance in air we could get before hitting the next berm/hill. I had the lead until crazy Daryl went sky high into/onto the berm and almost into a little pine next to the trail. Excellent day, and thanks Kirk and Daryl for inviting me.

Or just the fact that I was the only one out there with real knobbies? Maybe both! :) I think Darrell's getting well past the point that the street oriented tires are a real hindrance. He needs some other tires. Oh, and for the record one of his crashes was really just falling down. We've started separating real crashes (which he had two yesterday and only three total since we've returned to dirt riding) from falling down (which both of us have done countless times and is probably what you were doing). I suspect he'll be favoring crashes until he replaces those tires... Todd's tires are even more street oriented. It won't be long before your speed and tire grip are at odds with one another and you too can add legitimate crashes to your repertoire! :) > At one point we were competing for how much distance in air we could > get before hitting the next berm/hill. So THAT's what you guys were doing... Folks, picture this - two guys on fairly heavy dirt bikes (both XT350s) jumping for distance! :) > Excellent day, and thanks Kirk and Daryl for inviting me. Definitely > want to do it again....boy am I sore... :) Yep, but not as sore as Darrell. His left knee was swollen to about the size of a grapefruit. It started hurting about 8:00pm last night and I had him in the ER by 9:00. This was several hours after we'd finished riding. Hopefully percoset and a short period of rest will take care of it. Nothing was broken. The armor goes back into my pants - it's not hot enough out that I want to chance an experience with something like that.

The catch is you have to fly on the same plane and ride your bike through customs, although it is treated as a normal tourist vehicle that way as long as you don't decide to live in Germany for more than 6 months. You need to get insurance valid in Europe of course, but he has a line on where that is available, I didn't ask because I have an agent in Italy who insures a car I keep there and would use her.

Back in Oklahoma where i was on a nice long straight road where you could see all the way to the horizon, I took my old 93 GSXR750 to an indicated 167 mph (hit a damn dove as I passed 145!!! yuck!!). Race bike sees redline in 6th gear once per lap!! ;-) Dunno how fast that is exactly, but it's hauling! On the street, I generally feel comfortable riding about 7-8 tenths of capability in the corners and slower in the straights... but that varies from bike to bike... I generally like to ride in a style similar to "The Pace" (Kirk has a link to it on his page). I keep the speeo around 70 and occasionally brake for a corner, but generally carry as much corner speed as possible. And I try to keep it under 70 on the straights for sure... That usually worked out to be about 6 tenths of what the GSXR could handle, and about 8 tenths of what the Maxim can take.

Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.01b) Okay, I'm not looking to start a debate on speed limits, how fast you should ride, or anything like that, but I do have a question. I was riding in MD yesterday, following an old PARR poker run route. We started at White's Ferry, wound up in Sharpsburg, and eventually Charles Town. The roads were nice, traffic was light and the scenery was beautiful. But, here's my question... is it me, or are the speed limits on rural roads in MD significantly lower than in VA? I mean, a road that seemed to be the equivalent of Rte 50 west of Middleburg, had a 40 mph limit. A nice road with good pavement, double yellow lines, etc., winding past farms (i.e. not residential neighborhoods) had a speed limit of 30 mph! I really had to keep my eye on my speed... my usual cruising at 50-55 mph would have been a ticket for reckless driving.. no thanks! :-) Anyhow, I was just curious if anyone else had noticed this about MD roads? ..it seems that most of the "fun" roads in Loudoun and Fauquier counties have a 45 mph limit... I can't recall seeing any 30's!

I consider myself a pretty safe driver - I don't take too many chances. I took our '98 Kawasaki Concours and I kept the throttle at about 75-80mph but I was still being passed so I felt it was a good speed. On highways, I just stay with or a little in front of traffic. I try to keep it under reckless. :) Now, on my Suzuki Savage - I have no clue. The tank bag covers up the speedometer (it's on the tank).. I just find a speed that my nose isn't vibrating off my face or my toes are falling off the pegs - think it's around 60-65 mph. We think bike - it's all about finding the vibration you can live with.

I went to summit point a few weeks ago, and apparently, they had a photographer in the stands or some kind of automatic system. Anyway, I got 4 pictures in the mail (2 good, 2 crappy), and an 'order form' - to where I tell them the sheet + exposure number, and they make me an 8x10, 20x30, etc.. size print. Problem. They are expensive as HELL. I'm talking $70 for a 20x30 print. There's one I really like, and I'd love to have a poster of it, but I dont know about $70!!! I mean, thats half the price of FATT! On the other hand, I have no idea what it would normally cost to get a 20x30 made of a picture (at sears or something).. but I imagine its in the $12-20 range. So. (A) Is this a fair price, (B) what are my odds of getting the negatives if I want them, (C) Is there any way I can get the little slide snippet thing blown up? Alex.

Well, like the dumbasses we were, we chated about it on the CBs and the cops overheard.. I was the first to get tagged.. 187 in a 55.. I pulled back around to trade off with my roommate (who owned the bike) and the cop pulled up then to 'discuss' with us what the hell we were doing. (I might mention he came up on a jeep-trail, the only access to the portion of high-way we were using). After some talk, he wrote me a ticket for 187 in a 55.. $5, waste of natural resources.. It's framed (and burried in storage in Montana). He then wrote a ticket for my roomate doing 198 in a 55.. noone did get over 200 that day (though we did get a 200+ run in the wind several weeks later.. but couldn't hit an average in the +200s).

How fast do you feel comfortable riding, given the increasing >rate of danger and proximity of police officers that comes with higher >speeds? 10-20 over is the fastest I like to go - varying with conditions, of course. Slabbing it on a sunny day is a lot different than dicing with traffic. I prefer riding just faster than 50-75% of traffic - this minimizes the hazards behind me that are catching up to me. Of course, there will always be the idiot who wants to go 20-30 over, even in the dark, or with wet roads -- I try to position myself to stay out of his way. The older and more expereienced I get the more I realize what hazards are out there - going slower when conditions warrant is a good way to keep riding. Whenever I hear a rider say "the road went bad unexpectedly so I crashed" or "someone in front of me stopped short" then I know they were riding too fast for the conditions. Macho? Hell, it's harder to slow down than it is to just twist the throttle.

Said he borrowed the guy's bike and was back around Waxpool / Redskins Park off of 28. Apparently he was doing close to 100 when a nice man pulled out in front of him. Startled by the site of the bike, the nice man stopped in the middle of the road. Biker hits car going 45, body found 300 feet from the scene of the accident. Fortunately, the body was alive - massive road rash, no spine or head injury, broken thumb and shattered ankle. Oh - and no insurance. He is a college student. Police ruled the accident the biker's fault due to speed and general stupidity on a blind curve. I hope he gets well soon, and finds some way to pay off his bills. When he gets out of the hospital that is.... So, that sort of deflated my new bike news around the office. ___________________________________________ Mike Troutman http://www.troutman.org '97 Honda VFR 750 Remember folks: Stop lights timed for 35mph are also timed for 70mph.

How fast do you feel comfortable riding? Generally I'm loathe to go more than 20 mph over the posted speed limits, as I'm not in a hurry to pick up a reckless driving ticket either. But circumstances sometimes dictate otherwise. Baiting a group of squids, for example, has shown me 120 mph on the speedo. But that was one of my more stupid moments. When in serious LD mode, out on the highways, if I'm travelling near a group of faster traffic, I'll let them get ahead of me, and then just pace them. I'm comfortable doing this, with a cushion between me and anyone else, up to about 85 mph on the Concours, but 70-75 is more typical. The Connie is truly in it's element at those speeds. I'm generally much slower on twisty backroads, I also try to do the fast in the corners, slower in the straights kinda deal, but most of you folks would think my version of "fast" in the corners is pretty tame. If I average 45-50 mph on these kinda roads over time I'm doing pretty good. Another advantage of riding slower in the straights, you can get some pretty serious sightseeing done that way (one eye always on the road, of course). :) Dale === Dale Horstman (The Horkster) the_horkster@XXXXXX Dale City, VA, USA, Earth "I started riding away from home in order to feel the sweet sensation of missing it at the same time I love leaving it." - Melissa Holbrook Pierson "The Perfect Vehicle" _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

At that speed, you can usually count on being able to trail a ways behind a "rabbit" for cop bait (love those 5.0 Mustang guys!). On lonlier two-laners, I find that the bike and I are happiest at 80-85, adjusting as necessary for towns, likely speed-trappage, and swervery. 'Course, don't run at speeds that make you uncomfortable. It ain't a race out there. YMMV. Joe '85 900 Ninja >>> - 5/3/99 10:05 AM >>> Not to bring up a machismo contest, but how fast do you guys/gals go on your bikes? How fast do you feel comfortable riding, given the increasing rate of danger and proximity of police officers that comes with higher speeds? As for myself, I've taken my Superhawk up to (indicated) 130, but only briefly on long straight stretches of empty roads. I personally don't like the thought of getting pulled over or wrecking at that speed, but I can't (or won't) allow myself to obey speed limits all of the time. I'm starting to become more and more enamoured of the idea of "fast through the turns, slower on the straights" that some people on the list have mentioned in the past. Opinions?

I assume the speedo was grossly inaccurate, but whatever speed I was really going, the bike was very stable and didn't seem entirely tapped out. I ran out of runway and nerve before I reached terminal velocity. Then the airport cops appeared and I had to hightail it off the runway and out of airport jurisdiction quickly to avoid revocation of my airport security clearance and my driver's license. It was one of the few times that I've run from cops.

Does anyone have a Suzuki GS500? If so, I'd love some maintence tips etc. I currently live in Bethesda, MD. Any advice on any good bike shops, where you won't get taken to the cleaners? I've heard not so good things about Coleman Power & Sport in Arlington. Anyway, I'm back in town now, and am hoping to meet you all. How big are the ride groups and how fast or crazy do you guys get?

Just a thought. Also, I rode with the group for about an hour & the route was nice, but the pace was a bit lacking. I was surprised to see so many sport bikes in the group. This was a good thing, so I thought we would be traveling a bit faster. Not break neck, but at a pace that would allow us to enter & exit the curves without hitting the brakes so often due to the person ahead of you. I found myselft trying to increase the following distance so that I could get more out of the ride. Other than that, it was nice meeting you guys & hopefully we can do it again soon sometime.

Well, hey, I'll say it. Nice Scoot! Congrats! :) Heard about another accident in the area on the news this morning. Evidently some biker hit by a tractor-trailer as it was turning. They showed pics of the crash scene, evidently the biker tried to pass (on a double yellow) at a high speed as the rig slowed way down to make a turn.

You know, I've been thinking about this sig (everybody duck, ol' Hork is thinking again!!). I don't think this is necessarily true. Was out in Ogden, UT where they had a series of traffic lights rigged for a nice steady 25 mph. If you got caught at one, when it finally turned green, if you accelerated nice and steady (for a cage) up to 25mph, the NEXT light would turn green just as you got there. If you went any faster, you waited. Nobody ever sped in town! For city traffic, it was almost cool!

The one thing that I did notice was that very, very few riders were wearing gloves, even though many of those riders were decked out in otherwise appropriate riding apparel.

They've taken pictures that were 1"x1" and had them made into 4"x6" with no problem. You just take the film into your favorite store and get them developed. You can easily have them blown up to poster size for less than $70. I think Wal-mart charges about $25. The only problem is if the picture has a studio-proof label stamped on it somewhere.

I tend to ride at a moderate pace, no matter how many sport bikes are following me! Faster riders are always welcome to go on ahead... doesn't bother me in the least (no testosterone here!).

If you pass a point about 50 yrds previous to the light doing over 25mph, it triggers the light to go red. This is on Rt 7 near TC Williams high school. As for the sig... it's wrong. Old Town Alexandria has a series of light times like that... if you can keep 25mph all the way across town (Which is pretty much impossible unless it's 3am and all the tourist have gone home) you'll get all green. Anything other than that speed (higher or lower) won't work - you'll end up arriving too soon at some point in the series and have to stop. 70mph puts you at twice the speed, but it doesn't change the cyclic rate of the lights. Even if you went through the first light just as it turned yellow, at some point you would probably hit a light still in it's red cycle because your rate of travel exceeded a single cycle of all the lights' timing. - Brian (Geek who deals with way to much math evidentally) On Mon, 3 May 1999, Dale Horstman wrote: > > Remember folks: Stop lights timed for 35mph are also > > timed for 70mph. > > You know, I've been thinking about this sig (everybody duck, > ol' Hork is thinking again!!).

I gave chase a couple of times on the straights (including a quick drag race to show that CBR just what low-end torque really is)... I couldn't help it. But the twisties is where I wanted to turn the wick up and that's where I did most of my hooligan riding yesterday.

The reason I say "about" is because at that speed looking at the speedometer takes concentration of which I was saving for the task at hand. This was on I-66 between Rt. 55 and Rt. 234 going east bound. I have since lowered the gearing for more acceleration and the norm is more like 150mph.

Why can't we Marylander's drive? Because the speed limits aren't high enough for us to figure it out. Why can't we drive? Because we've only got one eye on the road, the other looking out for 'the man'. Yes, even between Hagerstown and Cumberland, on I-68, the limit is a paltry 65 mph. Kinda makes you wonder how I got from Frostburg to Chaptico in 2:30 one night:) Not sure of the historical reasons, but Glendening and the state police have an unholy alliance: they can do whatever the f**k they want and he will keep the speed limits at an unreasonably low level. ---------------------------------------- -George Howell ghowell@XXXXXX ghowell@XXXXXX georgehowell@XXXXXX "I ride because dogs have the right idea about car windows" From dc-cycles-request Mon May 3 19:04:29 1999 Return-Path: shephar1@XXXXXX Received: from dfw-ix7.ix.netcom.com (dfw-ix7.ix.netcom.com [206.214.98.7]) by meretrix.com (8.8.8/8.7.3) with ESMTP id TAA27865 for ; Mon, 3 May 1999 19:04:25 -0400 (EDT) Received: (from smap@localhost) by dfw-ix7.ix.netcom.com (8.8.4/8.8.4) id SAA21334; Mon, 3 May 1999 18:03:44 -0500 (CDT) Received: from mar-wv10-45.ix.netcom.com(206.217.114.173) by dfw-ix7.ix.netcom.com via smap (V1.3) id rma021114; Mon May 3 18:02:54 1999 Message-ID: <001201be95b8$de954c40$ad72d9ce@oemcomputer> From: "Ken" To: , References: <85256766.006464E4.00@Lynsmtp1.bigyellow.com> Subject: Re: Helmet Painting Date: Mon, 3 May 1999 19:01:23 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2014.211 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2014.211 Scooter Trash, the artist name is Weeze,she is a traditional biker = artist with incredible talent, everything from abstracts to comics to = formal historical murals at 304-264-0267, 249 N. queens St in = Martinsburg, until the new shop opens.....Has done some GoldWings and = glides with matching helmets that were just spectacular.

I just got a speeding ticket in Maryland River Road. The funny thing is that there were 5 cars surronding me and we all were going at the same speed. So I was going with the flow of traffic. The cop pulls me over says you are doing 65 in a 45 zone. I say everybody around me was doing the same why in the hell you pulled me over and not the other cars. He says I catched you. By the way as I was arguing he kept on saying "I catched you, I catched you" to every one of my question(I think they are getting dummer too nowadays) By the way he said that in order to appeal in MD, he said you just don't pay the ticket and the county will send you a court date.

The second is 'guilty with an explanation'. I got lucky once and did the latter. Got the same treatment as the guys who plead 'not guilty'. BUT, I've heard stories that there are many judges who just ignore the 'with an explanation' part and just listen to the guilty part. My advice: Ignore it and wait for the summons. If you are out of state, sometimes the cop just tosses the ticket (again, don't expect it.

You will also be charged with failure to appear and a bench warrant will be issued for your arrest. A bench warrant means they won't bother looking for you but the next time they come across you your ass is theirs. Surprising though it may seem to some people, judges do not like people who show contempt for their court and our laws. If you get a ticket, either fight it or pay it, don't ignore it.

"Ignoring" the ticket simply means waiting for the summons. MD will issue a court date if you do not send the ticket in. All of this is described on tickets issued in MD. No warrant will be served or any other extreme stuff unless you miss the court date.

The reason behind Speed Limits was to create a unified speed where everybody could travel safely. If you were on you bike, and were ONLY keeping up with traffic and NOT PASSING ANYONE. You can make a case that if you had not moved at traffic speed, that you would have been putting your self at risk. This can work if you have a clean driving record, and have been riding long enough to demonstrate that you COULD ride with traffic at that speed without putting yourself or others at risk. In essence, moving at traffic speed was the safest course of action for everyone. The question I would ask - If you were on your bike and the others were in cars - Why did the cop pull you over. If you can prove that the cop has a bias against bikers, you can usually get off. You can get a list of the tickets that the cop has given for the last couple of months (this is a pain in the ass). If the cop has a high percentage of giving bikers tickets, you might be able to get it thrown out of court. Here are some other tips to beat the ticket: (snip) When you receive your new court date, you'd better start preparing your case seriously. Go to your local library and find information about the specifics of your court. If you have time, you may borrow some law books on the topic of traffic offences. There you will find a lot more information and previous case laws, but the shortcoming to these books is that they are written for lawyers. You may find them containing plenty of law jargons. However, with some background knowledge after reading this page, you will find these books very valuable to help you fight your ticket. The best chance of finding these law books is from a university library, especially a university with a law school. You might have very little luck in a local or municipal library. Here are some very good books to read: "The Law of Traffic Offences", by Scott C. Hutchison & John G. Marko, published by Carswell, 1989. "The Law on Speeding and Radar", by A. Shakoor Manraj & Paul D. Haines, published by Butterworths, 1991. The reason why you should read on some of the law books is that these contain a gold mine of information. You may have noticed that the actual official law book, the Highway Traffic Act, is very vague in a lot of respects. For example, it doesn't say anything about using radar to detect speed. There are no written laws which says how a police officer should be trained in order to be a qualified radar operator. These laws are established, through a rather "non-standard" way, by previous relevant cases. These laws are called "case laws". They are essentially decisions made by Judges or Justices in the past, which will be referenced by later court cases of the same nature. The above two suggested books contain a lot of those relevant case laws, which will be very useful for your defence. The next thing to do is to file a motion to the Provincial Prosecutor's office to request a disclosure of the prosecution's evidence. You have every right to see what the prosecution has against you. When you request a disclosure, be very specific of what you need. Just saying "please send me your evidence that you will be relying upon" will result in a lot of important information missing from the disclosure. If the prosecutor receives something like this, the most they would do is make a copy of the ticket (if you are lucky you may get both sides of the officer's copy ) and send it to you, which you may already have. You should be very specific. Make a short list if possible. Here is a list of "must haves" if you intend to win: both sides of the officer's copy of the ticket the make, model, and serial number of the radar unit, and its owner's manual the officer's training record specific to the said radar unit the calibration record and repair history of the said radar unit the records of any calibration equipment such as tuning forks the officer's log on the alleged offence day, including all tickets he had written on that day If you ask for the radar manual, they will say this is copyrighted material and will refuse to send it to you. However, you can ask for the brand, model and manufacturer of the radar unit used in the citation, and contact the manufacturer yourself. One important note is, when you send any motion to the Prosecutor's office, make sure you send it by registered mail. This way they cannot claim that they have never received it because they must sign for it. If they failed to send you the information you requested, or the disclosure is incomplete, you can send a second motion requesting the missing information. If it also fails after the second attempt you should bring out this issue to the justice of the peace on the day of the trial, and move for a dismissal due to a lack of disclosure. Remember to bring your receipt from the post office. Carefully examine the officer's notes and see what he has written down. You might have a hard time reading his hand writing, as this is not intended for anyone but himself to read. If you didn't make a big mess when he pulled you over, he is not likely to write much down. Do this well in advance to allow yourself ample time to prepare your case. Prepare your questions for cross-examination of the cop, and ask a friend to practise it with you a few times. If you have time, attend some court sessions as a spectator to see how proceedings work. What if you have waited for a very long time but never receive the court date? Or what if your trial date is scheduled months away from the date you were cited? This is very good for you. ANY PERSON CHARGED WITH AN OFFENCE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE TRIED WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. No matter what, you are in a very good position indeed. Although there is no absolute time limit of the delay of your trial, the court has violated your right if you are scheduled more than 8 months away. That explains why you have to fight every traffic ticket in order to jack up the cases the courts have to handle. If everything is so backed up, all motorists are looking at a very bright future.

How do you justify to people how a killer can be "honored" by having his killing highway named after him? respectfully, Chris Norloff Falls Church, Virginia **************************************************************************** ******* http://www.ama-cycle.org/magazine/1999/story1je.html Greg Harrison Column (gharrison@XXXXXX) A Monumental Mistake June 1999 I’ve seen a lot of outrageous things happen in politics since I’ve been working here, but this tops them all. It’s the equivalent of issuing a series of O.J. Simpson autographed steak knives. And no, this isn’t a joke. What I’m talking about is the latest twist in a case you’ve read about here before. It’s the case of Tennessee Sen. Carl Koella. If you don’t know the original story, read on. If you do, stick with me--you need to hear what’s happening now. The story begins on a late afternoon in October 1996, when AMA member Terry Barnard was touring on his motorcycle along U.S. Route 321 in Blount County, Tennessee, southeast of Knoxville. Terry had ridden down from Ohio to enjoy the great roads and fall colors in the Smoky Mountains. That ride, and Terry’s life, ended when an oncoming van turned left directly in front of him. Police reports said his motorcycle struck the side of the van and caromed off it into a stopped car. Witnesses reported the driver of the van pulled across the road, stopped, got out, then got back in and drove off. Terry was life-flighted to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. He was 52, and left a wife, family and many friends to grieve for him. Back at the accident scene, witnesses gave investigators a detailed description of the blue van that caused the crash, right down to its state Senate license plate. And who lived right up the road where the van turned? State Sen. Carl Koella, who happened to own a blue van displaying Senate plates. Yet it mysteriously took nearly four hours before the police even knocked on the senator’s door--and almost five hours after the accident before Koella took a blood--alcohol test. It turned out that Koella had spent the afternoon with Gov. Don Sundquist, who had traveled to Koella’s home district to bolster support during a close election campaign. Koella was driving home from that affair when he claimed he “heard a thunk, and thought I had run over a sign or a rock or something.” He said he got out, checked the driver’s side of his van for damage, noticed a traffic accident across the highway, then got back in and drove home. Koella even called the Sheriff’s Department at about 7 p.m., saying that he thought someone behind him had run over a sign, and adding that he had been told that he hit someone. The officer who took the call said he mumbled and sounded confused. A grand jury determined Koella should face felony charges, but the senator copped a plea on a misdemeanor count. He was fined $2,500 and sentenced to 30 days of community service. At his sentencing hearing, Joyce Barnard, Terry’s widow, finally got to face Koella in court. “Eyewitnesses said you got out of your van, walked a few feet toward the scene, then turned around, got back in your van and left, leaving my Terry dying in a ditch along the road,” she told him. “Any decent person would have run to the scene to see if he could help in any way. Why didn’t you?” It’s a question we’ve all wondered about. Ironically, Carl Koella himself then died in January 1998 following emergency heart surgery. End of a very sad and appalling situation? Oh, no. Here’s the “in-your-face” update, courtesy of the Tennessee House and Senate. Sen. Bill Clabough, who replaced Koella, recently introduced Senate Bill 923 “to pay tribute to the late Senator Carl O. Koella for his exemplary public service.” The bill notes: “Whereas, Carl Koella truly epitomized the ideal of the dedicated and proficient public servant, and he often exceeded the call of duty? Whereas Sen. Koella demonstrated tremendous leadership on transportation issues, particularly in the development of U.S. Highway 321 (our italics).” Where is all this rhetoric heading? You won’t believe it. “It is important that the members of this body establish a lasting tribute dedicated to the memory of our longtime friend and colleague. Therefore, that segment of Interstate Highway 140 beginning at its intersection with Interstate 40 in Knox County to its terminus at U.S. Highway 321 in Blount County is hereby designated as the ‘Sen. Carl O. Koella Jr. Memorial Highway.’ ’’ Here’s the new rule: Kill a biker, get a highway named after you. The bill was signed into law by Sundquist on April 7. Two signs will be erected to note the designation. We’ll have more on this incredible development next month. Meanwhile, you might consider sending your concise and civil comments to: Sen.

In MD, you are supposed to return it with some sort of response (guilty, not guilty, guilty with explanation). Ignoring that means you might get off. But, I wouldn't recommend skipping out on the eventual summons that you will receive, regardless of whether or not you return the ticket. ---------------------------------------- -George Howell ghowell@XXXXXX ghowell@XXXXXX georgehowell@XXXXXX "I ride because dogs have the right idea about car windows" From dc-cycles-request Tue May 4 10:08:40 1999 Return-Path: 2xracers@XXXXXX Received: from radagast.wizard.net (root@XXXXXX [206.161.15.5]) by meretrix.com (8.8.8/8.7.3) with ESMTP id KAA11905 for ; Tue, 4 May 1999 10:08:38 -0400 (EDT) Received: from crxja001.wachovia.com ([199.4.241.53]) by radagast.wizard.net (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id KAA06096 for ; Tue, 4 May 1999 10:08:43 -0400 Message-Id: <199905041408.KAA06096@radagast.wizard.net> From: "Anita L." <2xracers@XXXXXX> To: dc-cycles@XXXXXX Date: Tue, 4 May 1999 10:05:20 -0400 Subject: Buell Motorcycle Company Announces Voluntary Recalls Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.01b) Buell Motorcycle Company Announces Voluntary Recalls MILWAUKEE, May 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Buell Motorcycle Company, a producer of sport and sport-touring motorcycles and a subsidiary of Harley-Davidson, Inc. (NYSE: HDI - news), announced today that it voluntarily recalled Buell motorcycles produced from 1994 to 1999 to correct several components. The voluntary recalls affect no more than 18,637 Buell motorcycles, of which approximately 12,400 were sold in North America. The following Buell motorcycle components and models are affected: -- Front Motor Mount System in all 1997 - 1998 models; -- Negative Battery Cable in 1996 - 1998 S1 Lightning and 1998 S1 White Lightning models; -- Rear Brake Line in 1999 Lightning Xl models; -- Side Stand Switch in all 1996 - 1999 models, except S2 and S2T Thunderbolt models; -- Fuel Tank Retention System in all 1995 - 1999 models, except Lighting X1 models; -- Fuel Tank Vent in all 1995 - 1999 models; -- Swing Arm in all 1995 - 1998 models; -- Shock Eye in all 1995 - 1998 models. ``The safety of Buell riders is of utmost importance to all of us at Buell,'' said Jerry G. Wilke, president and chief operating officer of Buell Motorcycle Company. ``These recalls were declared voluntarily pursuant to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regulations. Erik Buell, our chairman and chief technical officer, and I will be working closely with our employees and dealers to update these motorcycles quickly so our riders can continue to enjoy their motorcycles and the riding season.'' Buell Motorcycle Company will establish a pretax reserve of $5.0 million, which it will charge to second quarter operations, to cover the estimated repair costs of these voluntary recalls. At this time, the Buell Motorcycle Company is not adjusting its production target of 8,000 motorcycles for 1999.

Montgomery County police said Alexander, of the 17200 block of Olde Mill Run, was riding his motorcycle on Cashell Road near Bettswood Drive when he crossed the double yellow line to pass a truck in front of him. The motorcycle struck the side of the truck when the truck turned into a driveway, police said. The truck driver, Dutch Alfons Fischer, 27, of the 1200 block of McGuckian Street in Annapolis, was not seriously injured, police said. Police said the collision, which may have been caused by excessive speed, remains under investigation.

His court date was last week, and he brought along a "good" lawyer (i.e. one who knew the prosecutor, judge, the system, etc.). The end result? He got one month in jail suspended, a $180 fine and had to surrender his license for six months. He can now only drive to/from work.. that's it!

The other option is to find an MC shop to inspect who will ignore such things. But, you gotta be careful: if they'll ignore that, who knows what else they might ignore. Yet another option is to disconnect the 'blinkies' when you have to get it inspected. The ones I have put on BMW's (Hyper Lites are the name, I think) connect with a spade connector with the brake light. Pull one wire, and it doesn't flash. Oh, but after you disconnect it, go to your favorite local dealer, who would have failed you for that. Or... (again:) in some states (don't know if MD and VA apply) you can get a second inspection within a certain amount of time for free from the same shop. This is to let you fix the stuff that was 'broke'. So, get the inspection, see if they fail you for the blinking lights. If so, go out to the parking lot, disconnect them, and go back inside. Could be worse: we could have that inspection the British have... ---------------------------------------- -George Howell ghowell@XXXXXX ghowell@XXXXXX georgehowell@XXXXXX "I ride because dogs have the right idea about car windows" From dc-cycles-request Tue May 4 19:26:50 1999 Return-Path: Boiade@XXXXXX Received: from imo21.mx.aol.com (imo21.mx.aol.com [198.81.17.65]) by meretrix.com (8.8.8/8.7.3) with ESMTP id TAA22236 for ; Tue, 4 May 1999 19:26:48 -0400 (EDT) From: Boiade@XXXXXX Received: from Boiade@XXXXXX (539) by imo21.mx.aol.com (IMOv20) id 2HHRa24050 for ; Tue, 4 May 1999 19:24:43 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <922d2949.2460dbbc@aol.com> Date: Tue, 4 May 1999 19:24:44 EDT Subject: Vintage Racebike To: dc-cycles@XXXXXX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 13 Made an offer on an RD-350 racebike.

There were no provisions in the law for people loosing their license for speeding, reckless driving, etc. I know it sounds really stupid but that is the way it used to be. Maybe the judge screwed up? Who knows? My friend who does a lot of traffic law in Fairfax says there is one judge down there who WILL throw you in jail if convicted for anything over 90. And Anita you'll need to keep it under 80, that is if you don't want a chance of a reckless driving ticket. The law in VA specifically states that anything over 80 regardless of speed limit is considered reckless driving. Glenn >Well, this is kind of relevant to the discussions we've been having >lately!

She bought it too, or at least put up a good act. :-) Louis === Louis Caplan Alexandria, VA 1998 Kawasaki Concours Capitol 1000 #21 "Mean Green Scream Machine" Proud Sponsor of Joe Denton _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

And the secretary could only say, "They'll do whatever they think is best" in answer to all of my questions. So... I would recommend ASAP powdercoating in Hagerstown (301-582-5698; ask for Butch). I got my frame done there a few months ago. It is beautiful. And they soda blasted my frame. Very kind. But don't forget to put washers and bolts through the steering head and swing arm pivots.

Agreed. The old song and dance - he was speeding therefore it was a causal factor. Hell, he probably wiped his ass with white toilet paper, too, let's list that as a causal factor.

I don't know about the rest of you people but Fairfax cops seem to be the rudest. Just give me my ticket, no yelling please. When I got my 83 in a 55 on I-95 a few years ago, I remember the state cop telling me "83 is fast on a motorcycle, cause I wrecked one doing 50". I felt like telling him that he should have learned how to ride first, but I decided it would be best not to push my luck and I just ignored his comment. Another thing to remember is that 20 over may not always be the norm. If you remember when we were in Princeton last year I recall Bill telling us the in WV 15 over is considered reckless, I've heard that 10 over is in NC but I'm not sure if I really trust the source. Also MD seems to be the most lenient on tickets. I think you have to be close to 40 over to get one there. Glenn >I'd say that the laws have probably changed...

Hank didn't attend a lot of DC Cycles rides, but, to match up a name with a bike, he rode a purple/white Honda Shadow and had a bright orange helmet. Hank was the marathon man in our little club out of Leesburg, and he regularly racked up 15K - 20K miles per year on the Shadow. Actually, the last time I saw him, which was on that last PARR poker run a couple Sundays ago, he was proudly wearing a DC Cycles T-shirt. He will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors at 0845 hours, 21 May (the service will be approximately three hours long). There will be a procession from Loudoun Funeral Chapel to the cemetery for those who don't know how to get to the cemetery, but Hank's daughter doesn't yet know what time that procession would assemble. As of right now, we planning on riding to the cemetery. There will also be a family night on 19 and 20 May from 7:00-9:00 each night at the Loudoun Funeral Chapel. best regards, -matt From dc-cycles-request Wed May 5 09:33:50 1999 Return-Path: Turnip@XXXXXX Received: from bacardi.torrentnet.com (bacardi.torrentnet.com [198.78.51.104]) by meretrix.com (8.8.8/8.7.3) with ESMTP id JAA07615 for ; Wed, 5 May 1999 09:33:48 -0400 (EDT) Received: from uhura.concentric.net (uhura.concentric.net [206.173.118.93]) by bacardi.torrentnet.com (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id JAA23872 for ; Wed, 5 May 1999 09:25:18 -0400 (EDT) Received: from cliff.concentric.net (cliff [206.173.118.90]) by uhura.concentric.net (8.9.1a/(98/12/15 5.12)) id JAA01847; Wed, 5 May 1999 09:21:55 -0400 (EDT) [1-800-745-2747 The Concentric Network] Errors-To: Received: from galileo.concentric.net (galileo [206.173.119.84]) by cliff.concentric.net (8.9.1a) id JAA01859; Wed, 5 May 1999 09:21:54 -0400 (EDT) Date: Wed, 5 May 1999 09:21:54 -0400 (EDT) From: "Hugh A.

Great, all the pricey bikes just get more pricey. You've struck a nerve here Todd. I will actually react to this one. After all, I might like a KTM in my driveway some day...

I'm trying to determine the success rate of owners of late model CB750s switching over to radial tires. In particular, I'm getting ready to spend $$ on a set of Michelin Macadam 90X. The OEM tire for my bike is 140/70-17 and the MM90x lowest profile advertised is 150/70/17. I examined the area around the OEM and determined there is very little room on either side of the tire. Anybody had any luck with this size tire on the CB750 (1990's).

I first met Hank when I was taking an Intermediate MSF course, about 2 years ago. When I ran into him again I recognized him because of the neon orange helmet! He was just out at Summit Point for the first weekend of racing and we sat together to watch Collin's race. He was telling me about his coast-to-coast trip he just did in the fall. He sure loved to ride, and was a super nice guy! My condolences to his family and friends... very sad indeed.

You'll probably need to get more specific as well. The model previous to the VFR800 is the one you want. > Or, if someone has a set of Genmar bar risers for > the VTR, I might like to buy those. Someone on the list (Kirk?) mentioned > to me once that they might sell their pair, but I've lost the message. No risers here... I've got my stock bars as far up as is reasonable (about 1/2" higher than normal). You might try that as your first resort. It's actually only 1/4" less rise than the Genmars. Strangely enough, on the way to work this morning a guy on an RR asked me if the SuperHawk, "is comfortable". I looked to see his clip-ons below the triples and could only reply, "more than that". :) Everything is relative, I suppose.

I've been using a motorcycle as my primary commuter vehicle into DC for three years now. I can use the HOV lanes, I get good gas mileage, and I pay less to park for a month than most cars pay to park for a day. Commuting by motorcycle is practical, economical, and enjoyable. In addition, motorcycles never cause gridlock, and are in fact part of the solution to gridlock. thanks, Chris Norloff If you publish my letter, please don't publish my address and phone -- 508 N.

No charges have been filed, but > police are continuing their investigation Didn't we have a discussion a few months ago about why people keep the bike in first gear when at a stop? This is a place where I disagree with the Commonwealth of Virginia. In the MSF program, we tell riders that when they stop (at a light, at a sign) they should look in their mirrors for traffic behind them that might not stop. It's even a question on the written evaluation (oops, did I just give out an answer?) But when you take Virginia's written exam, the correct answer according to them is to look ahead (i.e. through the intersection). As long as you are stopped in the correct lane (i.e. right of the double yellow line) I don't think on coming traffic is going to be the biggest problem. Ken, please keep us informed, I'd like to know what charges are made against the driver who pushed the bike into the truck in front of him. Or if they drop the ball and name a highway after the driver. Keep an eye on those mirros folks!! Louis _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Usually when they have a big story like this that they hype, it won't be on until the second half hour. Even so, I have the VCR Set from 6-7, and will be happy to bring the tape to the next DC-Cycles event (or if I am unable to attend, give it to someone who will).

To: dc-cycles@XXXXXX MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii The new D.C. meters are a big pain -- who has time to plug the meter or move their bike every four hours? And those spots are one of the few places to park in the city because most garages refuse to admit motorcycles. I agree D.C. seems to be hoping it will get revenues from parking violations when people forget to plug the meter. After a call to the number Chris Norloff gave, D.C. provided the following contact: Gwen Mitchell Acting Administrator for Parking Services 1725 15th St. NE room 240 Washington DC, 20002 fax: 202-541-6113 I'm going to fax a letter protesting the new meters and asking for an explanation. If you are affected please let the city know you're not happy (too bad D.C. is not as enlightened as the Metro system, which appeared in Dr. Gridlock's column).

(and something I'd do in the situation you were in Marcy). The guy was filtering through traffic going over some bridge.. doing not much more than 5 mph.. just looking to get through the mess. Some SUV driver though he had the right to impede the MCs progress and moved to cut him off. The biker stopped, put the bike on it's stand, walked around to the drivers window.. Headbutted it till it broke, drug the driver out the window and beat him for about 5 minutes before getting back on the bike and riding on. Apparently, this is true.. as there were a few people who vouched for the person. Yes, after being hit from behind.. and HARD.. left with a broken wrist, and a separated shoulder.. I will gladly inflict bodily damage and lots of pain on any car driver that even does so little as to threaten me.. Where's the damn gun thread now..

If you want a fast pace ride set one up and go for it. Kudos to those who get out and lead these rides! Since dc-cycles people have started getting together for parties and rides the nature of the list has changed, for the better. Speaking of which, anyone care for some punishment in the dirt on 5/16 in the afternoon? Playground to be decided, excessively tight trails likely.

How bout we leave from the Burger King in Sterling at 0930 on Saturday...I'll think up a decent route between now and then.. minimum 100 miles, and up to 300 depending on interest of those that show up... As always, I expect we will split into two groups. One to zip along a bit above the speed limit (what scenery??), the other somewhere fairly close to it. I'll most likely lead the faster group on my Maxim 650, so you know the pace won't get to "plaid" he he he To get to the BK, head west on rte7 (leesburgh pike) continue past the NOVA campus on your right, and you will find the BK on your right in just under a mile. Or take the Dulles toll road west to 28 north and then 7 east. BK will be on left between first and second light (haveta do a u-turn at the second light). I'll be there between 0900-0915 ready to go.... If it's raining, I WON'T BE THERE... no pleasure riding in the rain for me...currently the forecast looks decent, but I haven't had a lot of faith in the forecasters lately... Collin === Collin T.

Just like I do in leading a street ride I will wait at intersections when out on a dirt ride. Unlike on a street ride I will go 100% at times on the dirt. However, 100% can be pretty slow - and I'm not an experienced dirt rider so my 100% isn't that fast any way. I would like to find more dirt riders (and places to ride)...

Just like I do in leading a street ride I will wait at intersections when out on a dirt ride. Unlike on a street ride I will go 100% at times on the dirt. However, 100% can be pretty slow - and I'm not an experienced dirt rider so my 100% isn't that fast any way. I would like to find more dirt riders (and places to ride)...

Some imported luxury cars have started sporting new-generation ultra-bright headlights that use "high-intensity discharge" (HID) lighting. The lights look different, and clearly hit people on the receiving end differently, from the halogen headlamps found on most automobiles. The new lights make night seem like day, some say. They're hard to miss, and government regulators are increasingly hearing from drivers and pedestrians who call them blinding and dangerous. Bill Owen, a legal secretary and landscape photographer who lives in Kensington, has complained to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, state attorneys general and auto safety groups, asking that the new lights be banned. "Drivers approaching vehicles equipped with HID super-bright headlights are blinded by the disproportionately and inappropriately bright headlights of the car coming towards them. I personally experienced this myself recently. I had great difficulty seeing the other car, the road, the lane I was in, parked cars and pedestrians. After the car passed me, I looked in my rear-view mirror and saw the distinctive rear lights of a new Mercedes," Owen said in a letter to NHTSA Administrator Ricardo Martinez. HID lighting doesn't strike regulators as a problem, as long as the headlamps meet the safety performance standard set by the government. "Today's headlamps are brighter and have a wider beam pattern than older headlamps that existed before 1978. However, our lighting standard does not permit any more light in the beam pattern above horizontal, where it has the most effect on other drivers, than it allowed for the older lamps. Thus, headlamps on new motor vehicles today must meet the same intensity requirements as headlamps have had to meet for the last 20 years," L. Robert Shelton, NHTSA's associate administrator for safety performance standards, said in response to Owens's letter. The new lamps are made to produce more light, use less energy and last longer than a halogen lamp. Shelton added that they are expensive and likely to be used only on upscale cars and trucks. NHTSA estimates that one-hundredth of 1 percent of cars on the road sport HID lamps. Some motorists may not be seeing white when they confront a high-intensity discharge light because at the outer boundaries of the beam the white may have yellow, red, purple, blue or green in it. A growing number of halogen lights are HID impostors, or "cheap things dipped in blue dye," said Rich Van Iderstein, chief of NHTSA's visibility and control division. They do not meet the agency's standards.=20 "The people who started selling these bulbs were trying to replicate the look of HID lamps, white with some blue highlights. They increase glare two, three, four, five times because the bulbs are so poorly executed," Van Iderstein said. According to the standard, headlamp bulbs must have three markings on them -- including one that says "DOT" (for the Department of Transportation, NHTSA's parent agency) -- before they can be installed legally. Vehicle owners can buy fake HID lamps at their neighborhood automotive supply store or off the Internet, but, once installed, they are supposed to be only for off-road use. That restriction is commonly ignored, leaving it up to state and local authorities to ticket violators. Looking at this in another light, there are blue halogen lights that meet the government standard. Osram Sylvania, for instances, advertises its Cool Blue headlights as "White hot. Super cool. 100% street legal." Sylvania also makes HID lights, and it expects use of the new systems to increase rapidly on cars sold in the United States. The company said HID is available or will be on some Lexus, Nissan, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and General Motors models. That news dismays Owens, who says the headlights may meet the standard, but the standard may be wrong. "Using a cell phone in a car is legal, but it's an unsafe activity. Just because they are legal doesn't satisfy me that they are safe," he said. =20 =A9 Copyright 1999 The Washington Post Company=20 From dc-cycles-request Fri May 7 13:10:15 1999 Return-Path: kirk@XXXXXX Received: from beta.nova.org (beta.nova.org [209.31.144.41]) by meretrix.com (8.8.8/8.7.3) with ESMTP id NAA04235 for ; Fri, 7 May 1999 13:10:14 -0400 (EDT) Received: from members (members.fcac.org [209.31.144.35]) by beta.nova.org (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id NAA12363 for ; Fri, 7 May 1999 13:10:08 -0400 (EDT) Date: Fri, 7 May 1999 13:10:08 -0400 (EDT) From: Kirk Roy X-Sender: kirk@XXXXXX To: DC-Cycles Mailing List Subject: Mick Doohan broken Message-ID: Organization: Northern Virginia Internet Access Cooperative MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Unfortunately, for those of us hoping to see Kenny Roberts Jr do some more racing damage to Mick Doohan in the 500GPs, Mick has broken some bones in practice.

I believe Kirk posted a tech article regarding these lights (compared to the el cheapo fake blue tinted ones) a while back. That article went in detail on how the lights work and also mentioned that while brighter overall, they produced much less glare and were less harsh on the eyes than conventional headlamps... I've seen em out on the road, and while I did notice that it seemed they did an excellent job of lighting ahead of the vehicle; however, they did not bother my eyes one bit at all (this coming from someone who is very light sensitive at night). The only one that did bother me was a jerk who had his left hand lamp way out of adjustment pointing directly off into the oncoming lane and upwards...

Although I wish I had new pads to put back on. They were a little worn down. Cleaning the bike took dishwashing liquid, simple green, and a little 3D. I'm somewhat surprised that there is still paint on the bike. Not to mention skin on my fingers. The back rims still didn't come clean though. While cleaning the pads I wiped some grease off the rim and it took it all off pretty cleanly. So the questions are. A. Is It safe to use brake fluid to clean your rims? B. What is the legal amount of brake pad to pass inspection? Some of you were riding in that ride about a month ago and commented on my brake light staying on. Well, that was a pain in ass to get to and to adjust. I spent more time on that simple but irritating sensor than on the brakes. Two things completed and one more to go. I hope I can get back on the bike some time this week. Sunday is a great day to ride but I've got to go to work. I hope someone is enjoying the weather out there.

I know there was some interest from a few of you. I don't have transport for the bike this time so I'm limited to two, pretty close to my house, riding areas. The two choices are Beltsville or Camp Springs - just north of the beltway or just south of the beltway. Fredericksburg is out of the question this time (real non-DOT knobbies). The poop on the two areas: Beltsville - really tight trails, wide open areas (dirt roads), jumping areas, lots of puddles if it rains Camp Springs - medium trails, open trails, jumping areas, "MX" area, some mud if it rains I'll probably start riding about 1:00pm and go for 3 hours or so. If you're interested let me know and give me your preference on where.

I'm on a long distance conference call at the moment so I thought it'd be a perfect time to introduce myself. Name's Grant, I've been riding dirtbikes since I was 12 or so and on the street for the past three or so years. I've owned a few bikes, including a 1990 CBR600 that I rode both on the street and raced at Loudon, NH (I'm from MA). My first bike was a 600 Kanatuna, and about a year ago I bought my first new bike, a 97 YZF600... unfortunately I had to go to CA for 6 months for business and had to sell it :(. I'm living in Herndon now, and will be picking up my Suzuki SV650 this Friday... always wanted a twin. Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting out again, and if anyone wants to ride (or at least tell me where the good roads are), please let me know. Cya, grant ********************************* Grant M.

There's a little known (and seldom enforced) rule with our group - all riders over 50 years of age and 240 lbs get to ride all new motorcycles brought to a group ride. Hey - it was worth a try... We tend to get together on weekends - Saturdays seem to be the most likely day for some reason. There may be two or more sub groups, depending on rider desire/skill/optimism. All in all - it's a pretty loose group - we do have a few peculiarities, though; we tend to dress conservatively (as in anti-roadrash) and have had some "spirited conversations" on line when a rider showed up in full squid-kit (tennies, t-top, shorts & (of course) helmet). This area is blessed with more twisting roads with fewer cars than almost any other place on the east coast near a major metro area. We have put much reasearch into merging the road database with the restaurant database (ya gotta stop sometime). Hope to meet you soon Michael J.

The previous week is well,... Bike Week, which is mostly white & harleys. BBW is basically all sport bikes with an emphasis on females & bikinnis. Believe it or not, SC is a no helmet law state & out of 50 - 75,000 bikers, I only saw about (5) helmets being worn. The state police, sheriffs office & all local county police & township cops are out in force. I mean walking down the middle of the street looking for any reason to lock someone up...seriously, I was there. All & all, it was violence free & a really great time. I did see a few white guys in the bunch & they were accepted because they're bikers too. It really shouldn't be called "Black Bike Week", just because it's mostly black, but you know how our society likes labels..... It should be called "Sport Bike Week"! (18) more days & I'll be in SC riding free. Yeah, I know, riding without a helmet is stupid & dangerous, I saw the bloody corpse, but it feels great to ride without the constraints of a helmet.

Did anyone else see the write-up in Motorcycle Consumer News on a machine-washable leather jacket. I'd love to see one in person. Apparently the whole upper portion (shoulders, upper back and upper chest) is constructed of a material that is very reflective at night but looks like regular leather during the day. All that and it is totally machine washable. They washed it a zillion times with no noticeable degradation of suppleness in the leather.

I machine wash leather sometimes. When I learned that that's what they do at Vanson, I decided I could too. Leather does not get damaged by getting wet! Washing a jacket in a home machine is a pain, but here is what I do: first, remove the armor, if there is any. If it is permanently attached, I'm not so sure you should wash your item. Fill up the washing machine with warm water. I throw in a few capfuls of Hein Gericke cleaner/conditioner (and liquid conditioner should work). I swish the item around by hand. I'm afraid to close the lid and let the machine do the work, because once wet the items get very heavy. It seems like it would be easy to break the washing machine, or tear up the lining. The water will turn very black. Some of this is dirt of course, but it is also excess dye (other colors if your leather isn't black). After I get sick of swishing, I let the machine run through spin cycle. Then I fill it up again, this time with no cleaner, swish it around some more, and spin it again. Sometimes I do a second rinse, depending. Don't hand anything on a hanger to dry. It is too heavy when wet and could stretch out of shape. I lay it down on cardboard in the yard, and let it dry naturally. When it is dry, you should condition it, using mink oil, lexol, or whatever conditioner you like. Is all this a big pain? You bet! I only do this when I get inventory in that is really stinky (for those of you who don't know, I have a used leather business).

However, It wasn't until after 10 years of riding that I could actually afford to own one. This falls under the "sentimental" catagory of spending money. ::shrug:: Can't possibly justify or explain it, but I can't think of another bike I'd like to ride up to Ocean City, touch the water, turn west and ride until I run out of dry land again. I'm planning to do just that later this year. And yeah, the thing just SUCKED when I rode it out of the dealer. The carb is tuned WAY too lean (to the point that you're actually afraid to corner because it might just spit at you as you roll the throttle at the apex) and the stock exhaust adds to the problem by allowing about a breath's worth of air to escape at any give time. I'm wondering what the motor company is going to do with itself once the fad of owning a Harley wears off, or if the various US start-ups (Indian, Victory, etc) actually start selling some bikes that aren't over-priced and under-engineered. Some long-time Harley owning families might start to defect. The Duck: Been on 600cc and 700cc Japanese bikes for a while, got into the twin thing, and there you have it. Looked at the SuperHawk, the Suzuki TL, and the Ducati. I fell in love with the Duck the moment I saw it, so if that's being a poseur, then label me one :) Although I did do my homework and every review I read pointed toward the Duck. Performance wise, Just like many other bikes you buy right now, out of the crate it's running pretty well, but the dry clutch actually makes more noise than the exhaust. I'm not one of the "If your neighbors don't complain about your bike it's too quiet" types, but I really do enjoy the sound of a motor. After breaking in the engine, I decided to let them change out the exhaust. After that I may modify the air intake system and the injectors depending on how the bike is running - if it doesn't need modification after the exhaust, then I don't need it. One of the reasons I'll recommend Battley is the fact that they agree with me on that - they aren't trying to make a few bucks by cutting into the airbox and screwing with the injectors if the bike is performing well without it. I'm also putting a steering dampner on it as I've noticed that the extreme torque the motor puts out can be a little uplifting when rolling the throttle out of a turn. As for the cash qusetion, The 900ss Ducati is not much more expensive than a comparable 900 - 1000cc Japanese bike (only about 10 - 15%)... did I mention I fell in love with it at first sight? While both of these mods are essentially bolt-ons, I'm letting them do it as I have about half the free time I want these days due to job constraints, and after the work they did on the Harley I have no problem paying for quality work. As for the street question, I used to go up to summit years ago on my '86 Interceptor 700 and put in some seat time. I'm thinking about getting back into racing, and am going up to Keith Code's school on the 27th at pocono to see if it's something that the "mortality gene" I seem to have aquired over the last few years will let me do ;) If the brain allows, I'm planning on buying a 125cc GP bike to race. BTW - after the YZF was stolen and I was looking at replacements, I narrowed it down to two bikes: The Duck and the Triumph 955i (Daytona). I decided the Duck was the one for me, but I agree that the triple is also an awesome ride! - Brian On Tue, 11 May 1999, George Howell wrote: > No offense, but that's a heck of a lot of money to spend on bikes and then > they need performance parts???

In order to get the most out of your commute, you need to be able to keep moving, that's why we ride & put our lives at risk during rush hour, to keep moving. Now, most of us ride to the far left of right of the lane for better visibility, for us & them, & also to avoid the oil & other fluids that are dripped in the middle lane from the cages. Okay, here's my technique. Let me state first, that this is just as dangerous as lane splitting in California, so be alert! This will only work if traffic is moving. If traffic is at a complete standstill, then your SOL. What you do is look for cracks in the flow of traffic & shoot the gaps staying as close to the edge of the lane as possible. Use your signals each time you shoot the gap, this will help get the cagers attention. What you will find is that you will develope a rhythm because most cagers leave a 11/2 to 2 car space between them & the car they're following. Most are paranoid about rear-ending the car ahead, so this gives you an advantage. Beware of the motorcycle haters for they will try to keep you out of their lane. That's it...now I await the flames ;) DJ From dc-cycles-request Tue May 11 09:24:03 1999 Return-Path: dc-cycles-request@XXXXXX Received: from tove.cs.umd.edu (tove.cs.umd.edu [128.8.128.42]) by meretrix.com (8.8.8/8.7.3) with ESMTP id JAA12951 for ; Tue, 11 May 1999 09:24:02 -0400 (EDT) Received: from mimsy.cs.umd.edu (mimsy.cs.umd.edu [128.8.128.8]) by tove.cs.umd.edu (8.9.3/8.9.1) with ESMTP id JAA22688 for ; Tue, 11 May 1999 09:24:00 -0400 (EDT) Received: from ckmso1.proxy.att.com (ckmso1.att.com [12.20.58.69]) by mimsy.cs.umd.edu (8.9.3/8.9.1) with ESMTP id JAA06340 for ; Tue, 11 May 1999 09:23:54 -0400 (EDT) Received: from dcn73.dcn.att.com ([135.44.68.33]) by ckmso1.proxy.att.com (AT&T IPNS/MS-2.2) with SMTP id JAA17401 for ; Tue, 11 May 1999 09:23:44 -0400 (EDT) Received: by dcn73.dcn.att.com with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector Version 4.0.996.62) id <01BE9B8F.F798AFC0@XXXXXX>; Tue, 11 May 1999 09:23:44 -0400 Message-ID: From: "Carver, John" To: "'dc-cycles@XXXXXX'" Cc: "'Choat,Dave'" Subject: Germany Trip (Longish) Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 09:23:43 -0400 X-Mailer: Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector Version 4.0.996.62 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hey all! I returned from Germany yesterday and thought I would give a brief description with some pictures coming in a couple of weeks. First, of course, motorcycling: Although I wasn't able to do any while I was there, I saw many, many, different bikes. Lane splitting appears to be legal as well as parking where you please. Need to catch a train? Ride your MC up to the rail platform and park it for the day or on the sidewalk. Harleys appeared to have a stronger than I expected presence. Highlights: Suzuki RGV250 that I would LOVE to have, Pristine (understatement) CX500 that I would (also) love to have. I saw a few VFRs and only 1 VFR800 with Gold PC wheels. Everyone and their mother wore full leathers, passenger included. UJMs had a strong showing along with dual purpose bikes in the cities where I visited (Frankfurt, Mainz, Hanover, Koln, Rudesheim, Kassel, and Berlin) (I only saw 1 Honda Hornet and zero SV650s). Security didn't seem to be on the minds of most MCers as I witnessed only one bike with a disc lock and a couple here and there bikes with some other kind of security. On the Autobahn (in a rented cage), I only saw about 3 bikes (BMW) and saw only a couple of "stupid" cage drivers do stupid things, one in front of a VERY fast Porsche. Gas was 1.53/liter (marks) or $3.23 (dollars) per gallon for the lowest grade. Scooters were also extremely popular as are bicycles and from what you can see, 2 wheeled forms of transportation in general. I was actually surprised to see how many big bore bikes I saw given the expensive price of gasoline. ZX11s, XXs, etc. Unfortunately, I never really got to see what some of their back roads were like since my SO and I were on a mission as tourists. The Heine Gerike and Polo MC shop were stocked better than Coleman's. They had a wider variety of things to choose from, but lacked a summer one piece Cordura type suit that I was looking for. They did have a winter version that had full armor. I ended up only buying a Polo rain suit from the Polo shop and an Abus Ulock from the Heine Gerike shop. I think that covers most MC things, the weather was perfect and we felt spoiled staying in the Mainz Hyatt and Berlin Hyatt since my SO works for the Bethesda Hyatt and gets free night stays. (Cool for us!!) :-) Pictures will be in a few weeks for those who are interested.

Including names and locations of cleaners that people have used on their leather gear in the past." Long ago (B.S. Before 'Stich) I contacted Schott about cleaning my leather jacket and a list of recommended cleaners. They replied, "Do not send it to a dry cleaner. We recommend no dry cleaners. Use saddle soap on dirty areas and keep it well oiled." Since then, I've kept my 15 year old sun-faded jacket well oiled with Lexol and similar leather products. 'Course, that was a jacket, not a full set that fits closer to the body. MCN ran an article about two years ago on helmet cleaners and tried some on some funky leathers with good results. Maybe the best advice is to contact: 1) Your leathers manufacturer, 2) Colleen (who surely has much experience with refurbishing used leathers), or 3) another leathers manufacturer, such as Vanson. In any case, keeping leather oiled is vital to keeping it from tearing. It doesn't need to be oiled to the point of softness (bad for good sliding) but you must keep it from drying out.

He might as well buy the manual since he'll need that for clearances and such anyway. It should be pretty easy, although all the parts will be pretty tiny. When I was a kid I took the top end apart on my XR75. It was for no good reason, just curiosity. I got it back together and it ran fine.

This is a good technique for moving up a few car-lengths, particularly to get away from a tailgater or a rat-pack of drivers. But to do much more than that I think exposes you too much because you have to check over your shoulder to move over, but you must carefully watch the traffic ahead of you for any sudden stops or weaving drivers (like cellphone users). Also, I suspect splitting like this would attract a lot of attention from law enforcement types because it would appear to be weaving and speeding. Personally, I think the advantages are not worth the disadvantages. >eware of the motorcycle haters >for they will try to keep you out of their lane. Actually, the way you presented it, you're never IN a lane with a car.

When you see the road split into 2 lanes each way (there'll be a "keep right" sign), wick it up. Depending on your bike, you can take those turns at 80-100+ at a very severe lean angle. :^) Be wary of deer though. Or if you'd rather, there's a turnoff to the left just after the first of these turns that has some great turns in it. You'll have fun - I ride that stretch of 55 after work a lot. After a while, 55 becomes less fun because it straightens out a fair amount and even joins I-66 for a bit. If you're taking the whole day off though, you might as well hit Skyline Drive while you're around Front Royal. Fantastic turns there, and since it's midweek you probably won't have to sit behind too many tourists. I might be game to join you. I think I'm going to take the day off tomorrow too. Have fun!

Forget Skyline though, take (forgot route number) the road that passes through Elizabeth Furnace to Luray. Skyline's 35 limit is just too slow. Glenn Early on 55 is a fantastic high speed right-left combo that's worth the whole ride there. When you see the road split into 2 lanes each way (there'll be a "keep right" sign), wick it up. Depending on your bike, you can take those turns at 80-100+ at a very severe lean angle. :^) Be wary of deer though. Or if you'd rather, there's a turnoff to the left just after the first of these turns that has some great turns in it. You'll have fun - I ride that stretch of 55 after work a lot. After a while, 55 becomes less fun because it straightens out a fair amount and even joins I-66 for a bit. If you're taking the whole day off though, you might as well hit Skyline Drive while you're around Front Royal. Fantastic turns there, and since it's midweek you probably won't have to sit behind too many tourists.

Take Rt 129 south of Knoxville, TN. To get to Knoxville take I-66w, I-81s, I-40w (or is it I-40s). That's, of course, not the fun way to get there. It's about an 8 hour drive if you go that way.

You also need to buy the seals ($$ varies, but proly not more than $30 for two). Doing it yourself is YMMV. If you've never done it, allow for a learning curve. You will need a seal driver. You can make your own out of an appropriate diameter PVC tubing. You'll also likely need the assistance of a vice. Good luck.

Aside from its notoriety as one of the funnest roads on the east coast (it is when it isn't crowded with cars or a parade of Harleys ;), it is generally well paved, double-yellow, and there are no surprise entries onto the road. If you're not careful, there may be a surprise exit though. There are many roads like 129 in TN all over the Appalachian Mountains stretching up into VA, and WVA and into MD. Thanks to the AMA and other publications thoug, Deals Gap has gotten way to much publicity. Bikes from all over, and all styles including some of the more squidly squids who trailor there race bikes in to run it (easy to get away with since cops only have two ways in and out, and only TN seems to care!) Easiest way to get there is I81 all the way until it becomes I40 west. Turn on 129 heading south out of Knoxville. The most fun way......well that's a lot of writing.

Byrd in Accident http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPlate/1999-05/11/033l-051199-idx.html By Tom Jackman Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, May 11, 1999; Page B01=20 The gentleman from West Virginia was driving home last week when he failed to yield to the gentleman from Fairfax. The result? A fender bender of constitutional significance. U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd (D-W.Va.), driving a rented Cadillac, rear-ended a Ford van in the accident on Route 50 in Fairfax County on Friday afternoon and was ticketed for following too closely. But police tore up the ticket because of a little-known article of the U.S. Constitution that gives members of Congress immunity from arrest when Congress is in session, except in cases of "treason, felony and breach of the peace."=20 Both Byrd spokeswoman Ann Adler and Fairfax County police spokesman Warren Carmichael said it was a Fairfax police commander -- not the senator -- who first brought up the issue of congressional immunity. "He was aware of that," Adler said of Byrd, "but he felt that whatever he needed to do to abide by the law, he was going to do."=20 Fairfax Commonwealth's Attorney Robert F. Horan Jr. gave a different account, saying that Byrd, a noted constitutional scholar, had a copy of the Constitution with him and showed the clause to the police officer who was called to the accident scene. Adler said it is possible that Byrd was carrying a copy of the Constitution. "He almost always has one in his pocket," she said. Police said Byrd, 81, and his wife, Erma, were driving west on Route 50 in the Fair Oaks area, heading for a weekend Mother's Day event in Taylor County, W.Va. Also heading west on Route 50 was Chris Lee, 42, a house painter from Fairfax, in his Ford Econoline van. As traffic piled up just past West Ox Road, Lee was forced to stop in the left lane. Police said the Cadillac driven by Byrd plowed into the back of Lee's van, causing $700 in damage to the van and $7,000 in damage to the Cadillac. Byrd does not contest the police version of events, Adler said. Lee said the senator, whom he did not recognize, got out and asked him, "Why did you stop?" Lee said he explained to Byrd that traffic had stopped in front of him. Then Byrd returned to his car and spoke with his wife as they waited for police. A tow truck was needed to pry the vehicles apart. Police took Byrd and his wife to the nearby Fair Oaks police station, where he chatted amiably with police commanders until an aide arrived to pick him up, Carmichael said. Meanwhile, police officials were calling Horan to see how they should treat the accident. Horan said he was familiar with the immunity clause -- Article 1, Section 6, of the Constitution -- because he had encountered it once before during his 32 years in office. He said that case involved another member of Congress from West Virginia, who escaped a speeding ticket 20 years ago. Experts in constitutional law said the provision was written in 1781 to protect members of Congress from harassment as they traveled across the country, and to discourage people from trying to prevent the members from casting unpopular votes. Paul Rothstein, a Georgetown University law professor, said Fairfax authorities should have let the ticket stand. Misdemeanor traffic violations should be considered a "breach of the peace" when interpreting the language of that section of the Constitution, Rothstein said. "It's a common misconception that it prevents ticketing," he said. "Police departments in this area are frequently under that misapprehension. I think it's a way to do a favor for people of influence and stature, but it does smack of unequal treatment under the law." Rothstein said he knew of about three or four such cases in the last 10 years. Lee said he was less concerned with constitutional matters than with getting his van fixed. Police said Byrd still has civil liability for the accident, even though he wasn't ticketed. And the damage to the van may not be the only issue. "I have a little bit of pain in my back," Lee said. =A9 Copyright 1999 The Washington Post Company From dc-cycles-request Tue May 11 13:06:17 1999 Return-Path: kirk@XXXXXX Received: from beta.nova.org (beta.nova.org [209.31.144.41]) by meretrix.com (8.8.8/8.7.3) with ESMTP id NAA17259 for ; Tue, 11 May 1999 13:06:15 -0400 (EDT) Received: from members (members.fcac.org [209.31.144.35]) by beta.nova.org (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id NAA26266 for ; Tue, 11 May 1999 13:06:06 -0400 (EDT) Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 13:06:06 -0400 (EDT) From: Kirk Roy X-Sender: kirk@XXXXXX To: DC-Cycles Mailing List Subject: RE: deals gap In-Reply-To: <000301be9bc6$5a179f40$0a9c26a6@toddnt.mcit.com> Message-ID: Organization: Northern Virginia Internet Access Cooperative MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Tue, 11 May 1999, Todd Peer wrote: > It is a highly over-rated 11 mile stretch of roadway I will have to agree with Todd on this one. The road itself is nice but the hoopla over it has been excessive. Another complaint, it's too short! Morons, er, I mean people, will trailer their bikes from FL and other faraway locales and just ride Deals Gap. Again, it's just an 11 mile stretch of road. It attracts the biggest morons/squids. Last year I came up on a group that was using both lanes! In spite of their maximally squidly riding style I caught them on my little HawkGT with full camping gear (tent, sleeping bag, etc) and luggage at an 8/10ths pace. This is not to point out how fast I am (I've been shown the error in thinking on that one more than once) but to show how truly bad some of the riders going there are. In spite of dangerous methods (using both lanes) they were still slow. That's one of the squidly type riders that the heavily "advertised" Deals Gap attracts. Others are truly fast, too fast for public roads. Normal riders should only go to Deals Gap on weekdays. Squids should only go on the weekends.

This means I need gear (helmet, jacket and gloves). I've been to a few shops in Herndon and Falls Church and notice that places tend to be 1) unhelpful, and 2) lack a real selection in sizes. Now, I'm a ladies' 12, so I'm not tiny, but most of the jackets and gloves seem to be geared toward larger guys, so I can't find a reasonable fit. Are there any suggestions from the list for places that have a good selection in the store? Specifically, I'm looking for something with some armour, and plenty of vents since I'll ride mostly in spring/summer. Inexpensive is nice, but not often found with this hobby. I'm willing to pay for a good fitting jacket. I'm new to riding... this will be my first bike, haven't ridden beyond dirtbiking as a teen. Any info/experiences are helpful. I'd prefer shopping in stores vs. ordering because I'd like to be riding next week. :) What can I say, I've been waiting since last August (when I took the MSF course) to get on a bike. Thanks, Shannon Oh, btw, the bike is a 1993 Virago 535, black, lots of chrome and LOUD. :) From dc-cycles-request Tue May 11 13:33:11 1999 Return-Path: cnorloff@XXXXXX Received: from piglet.toward.com (piglet.toward.com [204.194.180.31]) by meretrix.com (8.8.8/8.7.3) with ESMTP id NAA17819 for ; Tue, 11 May 1999 13:33:10 -0400 (EDT) Received: from norloff [206.239.251.201] by piglet.toward.com (SMTPD32-5.04) id A9D3D4010C; Tue, 11 May 1999 13:33:07 EDT Message-Id: <4.1.19990511133342.01525f10@mail.toward.com> X-Sender: cnorloff@XXXXXX X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.1 Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 13:34:09 -0400 To: dc-cycles@XXXXXX From: Chris Norloff Subject: Rear-ended biker at fault Cc: chris Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" http://www.napanews.com/nv/home.nsf/NewsBriefing/8E7F309A10BB7AC48825676E000 022FF Road rage ... and a van versus a motorcycle. The van won. What a surprise. Chris Norloff from the article-- Motorcyclist Hurt Paul Morton may have hit his brakes one too many times. Morton, 45, of Yountville was taken to Queen of the Valley Hospital Saturday morning, suffering from a broken ankle, cuts and bruises, according to the California Highway Patrol. He was treated and released, a hospital spokeswoman said this morning. Morton was southbound on Highway 29, north of Imola Avenue, on his 1994 Honda motorcycle, when a Dodge van, driven by Leonard Metz, 71, of Napa attempted to pass him, CHP Officer Warren Bullis said. The cyclist sped up and the van moved behind the motorcycle, Bullis said, adding Metz allegedly flashed his middle finger at Morton. "Morton hit his brakes twice, and on the second time, the van crashed into the back of bike, knocking the driver off his motorcycle," Bullis said. The CHP listed the cause of the accident as unnecessary braking on the part of the motorcycle driver, Bullis said.

In Philadelphia there is a store which specializes in women's riding gear. I know that isn't exactly in the DC area, but good luck finding a decent selection of women's sizes any place closer. Caroline is the owner and you can call her at 215/509-7713. She is also working on a website, you can look that up at http://www.herbtrlthr.com/ If you call her, please tell her where you got the number. You could of course shop my page, but most of it is men's stuff. http://www.leatherexchange.com Colleen From dc-cycles-request Tue May 11 14:15:08 1999 Return-Path: TZell@XXXXXX Received: from foundfw_ext.fanniemaefoundation.org (smtp.fanniemaefoundation.org [38.241.255.199]) by meretrix.com (8.8.8/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA18704 for ; Tue, 11 May 1999 14:15:06 -0400 (EDT) Received: from smtpgate.fanniemaefoundation.org by foundfw_ext.fanniemaefoundation.org via smtpd (for dirty.meretrix.com [209.116.254.17]) with SMTP; 11 May 1999 17:23:38 UT Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 14:14 -0400 From: "Tom Zell" To: "dc-cycles@XXXXXX" Subject: RE: deals gap Message-ID: <19990511141516706-f4f80c@fanniemaefoundation.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I've had some good friends go down there to "slay the dragon" and they love it.

The road itself is nice but the hoopla over it has been excessive. Another complaint, it's too short! Morons, er, I mean people, will trailer their bikes from FL and other faraway locales and just ride Deals Gap. Again, it's just an 11 mile stretch of road. It attracts the biggest morons/squids. Last year I came up on a group that was using both lanes! In spite of their maximally squidly riding style I caught them on my little HawkGT with full camping gear (tent, sleeping bag, etc) and luggage at an 8/10ths pace. This is not to point out how fast I am (I've been shown the error in thinking on that one more than once) but to show how truly bad some of the riders going there are. In spite of dangerous methods (using both lanes) they were still slow. That's one of the squidly type riders that the heavily "advertised" Deals Gap attracts. Others are truly fast, too fast for public roads. Normal riders should only go to Deals Gap on weekdays. Squids should only go on the weekends. I'm sure there are some of each on dc-cycles... :) Kirk From dc-cycles-request Tue May 11 14:24:03 1999 Return-Path: TZell@XXXXXX Received: from foundfw_ext.fanniemaefoundation.org (smtp.fanniemaefoundation.org [38.241.255.199]) by meretrix.com (8.8.8/8.7.3) with SMTP id OAA18843 for ; Tue, 11 May 1999 14:24:01 -0400 (EDT) Received: from smtpgate.fanniemaefoundation.org by foundfw_ext.fanniemaefoundation.org via smtpd (for dirty.meretrix.com [209.116.254.17]) with SMTP; 11 May 1999 17:32:33 UT Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 14:24 -0400 From: "Tom Zell" To: "dc-cycles@XXXXXX" Subject: Re:RE: Wednesday ride?

I hit it at I'd have to say 90 or so but forgot that he was following me. When I looked back in the mirror, I saw what I thought was going to be the most horrible accident I had ever seen... the guy went rather wide at about 80 and then wasn't ready to make it on through. I saw his Shadow go right off the rode, grass and straw and such flying everywhere, and his body flying all over the back of the bike (picture a bull rider). After watching this for a moment I began to laugh out loud inside my helmet (after I realized that he was gonna make it) because the whole scene had been really comical to watch. He later said that he had gotten lost in the scenery and when he had gotten into the turn it was too late. In the end it was funny and we had the biggest laugh... guess you had to be there... -Tom '86 VFR750 ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Early on 55 is a fantastic high speed right-left combo that's worth the whole ride there. When you see the road split into 2 lanes each way (there'll be a "keep right" sign), wick it up. Depending on your bike, you can take those turns at 80-100+ at a very severe lean angle. :^) Be wary of deer though. Or if you'd rather, there's a turnoff to the left just after the first of these turns that has some great turns in it. You'll have fun - I ride that stretch of 55 after work a lot. After a while, 55 becomes less fun because it straightens out a fair amount and even joins I-66 for a bit. If you're taking the whole day off though, you might as well hit Skyline Drive while you're around Front Royal. Fantastic turns there, and since it's midweek you probably won't have to sit behind too many tourists.

It sounds like our intended paces seem much different. I misread your original post. I don't think my bike would be happy looking at the scenery, and that sounds like your preference. I don't want to make anyone feel rushed while riding, so I guess I'll just go my own way. Thanks for the idea, though. Perhaps someone else from the group would still like to join up with you for a leisurely ride. Others on the group who might be interested in a more spirited ride would be more than welcome to come along with me. Chris Weaver 98 VTR 1000 Chris, You're more than welcome to join me but I think you missed the part of my message that stated that I don't scrape pegs or take corners at 100mph! I'm no slowpoke but I'm riding to enjoy the scenery not to "go fast". ---------------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

With the ACE in the shop, I am riding the old GS400, and it's not too fast (found out this last Sunday it will easily do 90+ mph on the interstate, but gets real unstable in traffic at those speeds due to its light weight).

Not me, but I recall reading in various magazines over the years that Harley has the most made-in-America parts (about 92% I think). A close second is Honda (Marysville, Ohio) and third is Kawasaki (Kentucky?). Now there's also Polaris' Victory, and Excelsior-Henderson's Super-X.

Any suggestions? I finally found some at Sunny's Surplus. The ITASCA commando-style boots are very comfortable and inexpensive ($30) with nylon webbing that allows breathing.

With the ACE in the shop, I am riding the old GS400, and it's not too fast (found out this last Sunday it will easily do 90+ mph on the interstate, but gets real unstable in traffic at those speeds due to its light weight). I am busy Sunday working with the Poker Run we are putting on (Montgomery Co Chapter of ABATE of MD). If anyone has ideas, please post.

Any suggestions? There are lots of armored touring boots that would be suitable for track usage (albeit, without the toe sliders). I've got BMW's touring boot, it's fully armored (shin, ankles, toe, heel), waterproof, basic black, comfortable, etc... Other makes have similar boots, for a tad less money (the BMW boots are about $270).

I think that reducing the motorcycle parking time hurts DC. Motorcycles are space and fuel-efficient vehicles that do not cause gridlock.

I saw that several people wanted to go for a ride, but I didn't see any firm ride suggestions. I can lead a Poker Run Route that I did a few weeks ago. It starts at the Capitol Expo Center (Rt. 28, between I-66 and Rt. 50), runs out to Front Royal, then ends up in Sterling. About 140 miles on the route. It wasn't the most spetacular run I've been on, but it was enjoyable. Would this interest people? If not I can dig through my previous runs and find something else.

I have a couple of 17" monitors to through in, too... a NEC Multisync 5FG (a little fuzzy.. I can adjust), and a Digital. Comes with a copy of Windows NT Workstation. For what it is this PC rocks and would make a great workstation or home based fileserver.

It's tough to form initial impressions, especially when I've been away from the track/not on a bike in 9 months. For one, it's the first unfaired bike I've owned (except for the CBR600 I rolled, but it didn't come that way so it doesn't count), and wind blast is noticeable. Two, breakin sucks... it's incredibly difficult to keep this thing under 5k and light on the throttle. Three, V-Twins rock! Having never ridden a twin, I wasn't really sure what to expect... it's really neat, because you hear this rumbly engine under you, but there's no more vibration that I remember from an inline 4. Four: slip-on slip-on slip-on. As soon as there's a reasonably priced slip-on around, grab it. I don't like a ton of noise, but this bike needs a voice, and right now it's a little on the muffled side.

Hope everyone enjoyed the ride last Saturday... Although the weather looked nasty before we headed out, it turned into a very nice day. I really enjoyed that loop... been on all those roads numerous times, but never in quite that order... very little slab sections that way and very little repetition of roads.... definitely will have to do it again sometime..... Although, I would have been jsut as happy skipping that (what felt like) 2 foot horizontal slide in that gravel patch on Milltown road. Apparently, it looked impressive to those who saw it, but it sure wasn't fun in the riders seat... A super big apology to the two riders that we lost at the turn off from evergreen mill road. I thought everyone was right with us as we made that turn, and I kept on going. Hope you found your way back OK once you got to 659. Please don't hate me :) It wasn't on purpose! Collin === Collin T.

I managed to find one service (http://www.thewantads.com/users/titles/Grady.htm) that'll give you a NH or AL title with minimal fuss. I'm sure there are lots of others out there. A yellow pages search for vehicle title companies in NH or AL would turn most of them up... It turns out that the cost isn't worth it for the bike I've got but maybe someone else out there could benefit.

It ended up much longer than I intended. --- Well, I bailed out of work yesterday and took the Soooperhawk on its first long(ish) ride. I figure I covered about 250 miles, give or take. I set out about 10 am on the VTR after sleeping in like the sack of potatoes that I am. After a quick grease snack at Mickey D's, I left Manassas on route 66. I preferred to do this since the roads to route 55 from my home aren't very good and I wanted to get to the good stuff quickly. After a couple of exits, I hopped on route 55, a state route that roughly follows I-66 west toward Front Royal. This stretch of road is very nice, with some fast sweeping turns and little traffic. I've ridden here often, and it was a pleasant, familiar ride. After many miles and somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes, I found myself entering Front Royal. After riding through Front Royal, I made my way to the Shenandoah National Park entrance and the beginning of Skyline Drive. For those of you not familiar with this area, Skyline is well known for great curves but a hideously low speed limit of 35. On a relatively empty park day the speed limit feels excessively restrictive, but on heavily travelled days such as one finds during fall "leaf-watching season" with its gawking tourons, it's probably not such a bad idea. After paying my $5 entry fee, I rode up onto the ridge that Skyline Drive follows and began enjoying the curves. I didn't worry too much about the speed limit and judging from the lack of police enforcement, I figured that the Park Service didn't worry about it much during mid-week either. After enjoying a few overlooks and many twisties, I noticed something on the stone retaining wall up ahead. Lo and behold, a small black bear was perched on the wall as though he was waiting for a bus. As I approached, he dashed off into the woods. I had never seen a bear on Skyline Drive before and figured it was a good omen for the ride. I eventually made my way to the first exit from the park near Luray, VA. After taking a small detour to play with the throttle inside of a stone tunnel a little further up Skyline, I left the park heading west. I was in search of gas and the next road on my itinerary, state route 675/678. I drove around the outskirts of Luray for a half hour, searching in vain for my objective. After stopping for directions from a craft shop lady (and her heavily shedding cat) and the gas station operator at Luray Caverns, I finally found the road I was after. Note that this route is not well marked on some maps (at least the ones I had). Route 675 and 678 are stellar roads, and I had barrels of fun winding my way through the seemingly endless supply of curves, dips and hills. I can't recommend this route highly enough. I give both route numbers here because my map markings were fairly ambiguous. 675 begins near Luray and 678 branches off of it to head north towards Woodstock. Chris Meier had recommended this route to me, and I must say his comments were spot on. If you find yourself in the area with a half hour or so to kill, check it out. After slaking my thirst for high entry speeds and low lean angles, I took a more sedate pace back to Front Royal and I-66. I took the speedy route home on the super slab in order to make up some time for a dinner arrangement I had planned.

I was actually surprised that it's stayed put through all I've given it... Since it doesn't really have much of a lock set on it, it's been held on by a zip tie that Brian affixed to it about 4 or 5 months ago!! And in all fairness to the ziptie's holding ability, it did take getting Pepe completely airborn for it to break off and the trunk to go sliding off... All joking aside though, when it goes back on this time, I'll be wiring it on as well as another ziptie..

If nothing else, dirt riding teaches you the need to get on the throttle when things get loose. Get on the throttle and roost anyone who dares follow you too closely! :) Man, I've got to remember to adjust my thinking when I get out on street rides here (it's been awhile)... Somehow, I suspect that sending bunches of gravel at someone following you while on a street ride would meet with something other than, "YOU PUNK!!!" and an attempt at similar retaliation (my brother's reaction). >so I am going to play in the dirt with Kirk Roy and some >others on Sunday. Yeee-Hiiiyyy! Anyone else who's interested in getting out in the dirt is welcome as well. There's a mixture of terrain, from trails so tight a 650 dualsport would be hopeless to wide open dirt roads that allow top speed in sixth gear, some little play/jumping areas, and other stuff. I expect that we'll have some follow the leader and some free play time. So, even if you feel you're slow it's no big deal.

Caplan" Subject: Formal Ride announcement To: DC-Cycles MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Ok, I looked through some of the poker runs I have, especially those I haven't taken a group on yet, and I think this one is actually pretty good. I guess they just mentally get better over time or something. :-) For those of you who want something more challenging than just a "Poker Run" you can either go ahead with Collin leading (I'll pass out directions with corrections) or you might be happier doing something on your own. I believe in a ride your own ride kind of thing, and if that means you going out ahead, that's fine. If there is a large turn out (I didn't get that many people saying they would be interested in going) we'll divide into different groups. I plan on departing from the McDonalds at the entrance to the Capitol Expo Center at 10 am. The ride doesn't really have a lunch location, but I think I know where a good place to find a restaurant will be. We can discuss it at McD's with people who are more familiar with Front Royal. Directions to starting location: >From I-66, take Rt. 28 North. The Capitol Expo Center will be a few miles up on your right. >From the Dulles Toll Road or Rt. 7, take Rt. 28 South. The Capitol Expo Center will be on your left immediately after crossing Rt. 50. When you turn in towards the Capitol Expo Center, there will be a gas station on your right, great time to fill up, and McDonalds will be on your left. Any questions, e-mail me.

Would we be near the diner? Anyone else know of someplace good to stop along that route? Worse comes to worse, I think there was a KFC or some fast food place.

I have been riding for over 25 years on a variety of brands, Hodaka (Combat Wombat), Kawasaki, Suzuki, BMW.... I'm a moderate pace rider with an occasional burst of speed. We've (wife and 2 offspring) have been in N. Va. for a little over 5 years after spending a year in Dallas, and 6 1/2 long years in New Jersey. I'm originally from Pa., and arrived in NJ via California (2 yrs.) and Illinois (1yr.). I have been working for Mobil Oil for a little over 13 years and they were kinf enough to 'sponsor' our journeys from NJ to TX to VA. I really enjoy the riding in this area, it has some of the best roads that I've ever come across. Calf. may have some REALLY nice roads, but they are a major PIA to get to and overly crowded. I am looking forward to having a free weekend, sometime in my life, and getting together with the group to do some riding. Emmett W. Hinger Centreville VA.

If I could offer you only one tip for improving your life, leather would be it. The long term benefits of leather have been proved by serious bikers over many highways and many years, whereas wearing something unreliable like shorts and flipflops means you will experience a trip to the emergency room. There, uncaring nurses will scrub gravel out of your wounds, and doctors will dispense ineffective painkillers and meaningless advice... like telling you to trade that "murdercycle" in for a Camry. Bullshit. I will dispense some real advice right now: Enjoy the power and beauty of your ride; If you don't already; you can fully enjoy it by doing block-long smokey burnouts in the parking lot at the local drive-in. Trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at the photos of you and your pals on your bikes and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much fun you had and how fabulous you really looked hauling ass down the highway dressed in leather. Leather is as sexy as you imagine. Don't worry about what your Mom thinks; or worry, but know that worrying about what other people think is as effective as trying to scratch your nose in a blinding hailstorm at 80 m.p.h. with a full- face helmet and winter gloves on. The real troubles in your life are apt to be Volvo stationwagons, driven by some dipstick talking into his cell phone or doing her makeup; the kind that blindside you at 4 PM on some urban roadway and then claim you crashed into THEM. Do one thing everyday that scares other drivers... Lanesplit. Sing into your helmet. Use mouthwash first. Don't be reckless with other people's bikes, especially if you don't have insurance. Don't put up with people who mess with yours.... in fact, beat them with a chain. Ride Fast. Don't waste your money on chrome, or fancy paintjobs; spend it on racing or partying. Sometimes you're fast, sometimes you're slow. Sometimes you're hungover. The ride is long, and in the end, a cold beer tastes pretty damn good. Remember the good rides you've had, forget the cuts and bruises; try to wear out the sides of your tires before the middle.... if you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your oil changed, throw away old traffic citations. Take chances. Don't feel guilty if you ride faster than the posted limit ...the most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 how to ride conservatively, all the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't. Get plenty of saddle time. Be kind to your passengers, you'll miss them if they fall off. Maybe you'll crash, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have surgery, maybe you won't, maybe you'll ride a cruiser off a cliff doing 40, maybe you'll get a new motocrosser for your 75th birthday ...whatever you ride, don't congratulate yourself too much - your choices are 90% foreign,10% domestic, so are everyone else's. Enjoy your bike, use it every way you can...don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it's the greatest instrument of pleasure you'll ever own, not counting porn sites and a fast modem. Wrench... even if you have nowhere to do it but in your hotel room. Read the owner's manual, even tho' you won't remember any of it. Do not read American motorcycle magazines, they will only make you wish you'd bought a British one instead. Get to know your brake pads, you never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your tires; they are your link to the pavement and the things most likely to save your butt from a nasty highside. Understand that mechanics comes and mechanics go, but for a precious talented few you should pay them well and buy them sixpacks. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older your bike gets, the more you'll need the mechanic who worked on it when it was young and still not paid off. Ride in New York City once, but leave before you get killed; ride in Northern California whenever possible, but leave a plausible excuse whan calling in sick for work. Do lurid wheelies. Accept certain inalienable truths: prices will rise, traffic will get worse, you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young, gasoline was cheap, the highway patrol couldn't catch you, and Harley owners weren't all yuppies. Respect your rev-limiter. Don't expect anyone else to see your bike unless it has really loud pipes. Maybe your bike has a big gas tank, maybe a smaller one; but remember, either way you'll have to make bathroom stops. Don't mess too much with your carburetors, or by the time your done, you'll be walking home. Be careful whose advice you buy, and save your receipts. Don't take advice from those who supply it for free, especially if they own a Britbike. Motorcycle restoration is a form of self-torture. Doing it is a way of pulling the past from the dustbin, degreasing it, painting over the rusty parts and dumping way more money into it than it's worth. But trust me on the leather...

Well as far as my motrocycle experience go, I started riding bike/scooter at the age of 14, my first bike was Kawasaki RTZ 100, after that I bought 1978 JAWA 250 (I don't think anybody might've heard about this). >From the day I came to US of A I was toying with the idea of buying a bike, finally I materialized it ..

Are we not meeting at the Capital Expo Center now? Let me > know & we'll be there! The location hasn't changed. When you go to the Capitol Expo Center, there is a long driveway (really a road, but only goes to the Expo Center). The McDonald's and a gas station (and a Wendy's and some other junk) are along the driveway. If you follow the signs to the Capitol Expo Center, you should see what I mean. I just figured McD's would be a better place to gather since people can go inside and fuel up if they need to. Plus if there is a show at the Expo Center, the parking lot tends to fill up rather quickly, and a lot of brain dead pedestrians try to play "Frogger" for real. And as usual, I'll probably be there ridiculously early and try to leave my bike where it will be clearly seen by approaching riders.

The only problem, I would say, is that the speeds on Skyline Dr. are pretty slow unless you feel like risking a ticket. If the group wanted a fairly relaxed ride, though, it wouldn't matter. There ARE terrific views from up there. The group could stop at Luray Caverns if they wanted to also, since it's on the route I took. Others probably know of some other good roads back there too.

Here's the URL, which may require (free) registration: http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/news/financial/italy-motorbike.html The article follows here: May 15, 1999 Ducati, Italy's Top Motorcycle Maker, Seeks Niche in the U.S. By JOHN TAGLIABUE BOLOGNA, Italy -- Federico Minoli is not sure if he is selling a luxury accessory, a style of life or a means of transportation. It is probably a bit of all three, for Minoli is the new president and chief executive of Ducati S.p.A., the renowned Italian motorcycle maker. And while sales of Ducati's two-wheelers are booming in Europe, where clogged cities welcome anything with fewer than four wheels, Ducati and the builders of other Italian motorcycle classics are casting their net farther afield. Lifting a chapter from the textbook of Italian luxury icons like Gucci and Bulgari and melding it with the profitable formula Harley-Davidson used to create an image out of a pair of wheels, these companies are looking to global markets, notably the United States. "It's a business opportunity," said Minoli, who favors jeans and sweaters over ties and suits, "twinned with passion and image." The Italian drive lifts the spirits of executives in the industry, which boasts a long tradition of making spirited two-wheelers, but whose lack of marketing skill and financial savvy has nearly caused some venerable brands to disappear. The potential for profit in tapping other markets has not escaped American investors. Last year, the Trident Rowan Group in New York bought out Moto Guzzi S.p.A., another motorcycle maker, and took it public this March. Earlier, Texas Pacific Group, based in Fort Worth, acquired Ducati, which it subsequently took public on the New York Stock Exchange [Ducati's American depository receipts have been flat since they began trading between $31 and $32 nearly two months ago. On Friday, the A.D.R.'s, each representing 10 common shares, closed at $29.75.] And stock market analysts remain wary. "It's a tough market to get into," said Robert Mescal, who follows initial public offerings at the Institute for Econometric Research in Deerfield Park, Fla. "You're looking at big bucks to get started, and the Japanese and the Americans are not going to give up easily." Admittedly, Italy has just a sliver of the American market, and little hope of taking any significant share from Japanese giants like Honda and Yamaha, which have parlayed a mix of low-cost manufacturing and high-technology innovation into market dominance. But motorcycle sales are booming again, as baby boomers who flirted with the open road in the 1960's now have the income and the time to don helmets. So Italian companies like Ducati, whose $263 million of revenues make it the nation's leader, as well as Moto Guzzi, Cagiva and Aprilia, are faring better in Europe and hope to carve off a little of the upper end of the market in the United States. With a wave of sexy new models, they are seeking to exploit the cachet of all things Italian, promoting their bikes as two-wheel Ferraris or the highway equivalent of a Gucci loafer or Versace scarf. Ducati, copying Harley, is opening motorcycle shops, with apparel sections and espresso bars, in the United States. The Italian crusade got a lift last year when the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York included 21 Italian motorcycles, from a 1924 Guzzi to several 1990's Ducatis, in its wildly successful motorcycle show. "The Italians bring design excellence to everything they do," said Ultan Guilfoyle, deputy curator of the Guggenheim exhibit. "And that is very apparent in their motorcycles." Yet Ducati, he added, provides a textbook case of how brilliant Italian design is often undercut by poor management. In 1996, Texas Pacific took control of Ducati from Claudio and Gianfranco Castiglioni, brothers who amassed a fortune selling zippers, then sank it into their real passion -- motorcycles. The Castiglionis acquired Ducati, then nearly bankrupt, in 1983 from the Italian Government, which had bought it in the 1950's from the founding Ducati family. Despite Ducati's reputation for design and technical innovation, the Castiglionis left the company without a sales organization or strategy and bled it financially by siphoning profits to other projects. "We saw a great brand and a great product, a great factory, but no business around it," said Abel Halpern, a London-based financier who scouts European investment opportunities for Texas Pacific. "The hard part had already been done. The easy part was to design a business system around it." To do so, Ducati bought business talent. Minoli, 49, a former Procter & Gamble and Playtex executive with long marketing experience on both sides of the Atlantic, was hired from Bain & Company, the consultants who worked with Texas Pacific before the Ducati purchase. To create a marketing campaign, Ducati hired Kristin Schelter, a former Hill & Knowlton executive who had worked on the Bulgari account. David M. Gross, a former journalist and Harvard-educated lawyer who is Ducati's director of strategic planning, said the advertising budget, at about $5 million, was meager. But by piggybacking onto big spenders, Ducati makes the ad dollars go further. Neiman Marcus has included Ducatis in its men's catalogue, and Donna Karan New York is outfitting the Ducati racing team. "Now people are coming to us," Gross said. Ducati's New York flagship store, at 11th Avenue and 43d Street, cost about $250,000, also a shoestring operation. The efforts are beginning to pay off, at least modestly. In the first quarter, Ducati increased sales 13 percent, to $74 million; motorcycle shipments to the United States rose 26 percent, to 1,541. If imitation is the purest form of flattery, Ducati is not lacking in compliments. The new owners are also reinventing Moto Guzzi, hiring this year as chief executive Mario Scandellari, a former Ducati manager, and bringing in a nine-year Yamaha veteran, Nicola Poggio, as chief of sales. In the United States, another Yamaha manager, John Porter, was lured away to spearhead Guzzi's drive there. To revive the American market, this year Guzzi will begin a fast, aggressive model called the Jackal, to sell for about $7,900. Last year, Guzzi sold 651 bikes in the United States, up from 401 in 1997. "The Italians are good at interpreting life styles," Poggio said. "If I have to eat, I try to eat well; if I have to wear a watch, I try to wear a beautiful watch." Others are following suit. Aprilia S.p.A. recently rolled out a new flagship for the United States, the RSV Mille. "The people who rode bikes in the 60's and 70's are now earning higher salaries," said Mark Wilhelm, a former Ingersoll-Rand executive who is Aprilia's marketing manager for the United States. "The kids are gone; they have more time and disposable income." Italjet S.p.A., which produced motorcycling classics in the 1970's before bailing out to focus on scooters, is re-entering the fray with an aggressive new bike that will be tested in racing before full production begins in 2001. "We're returning to our past," said Leopoldo Tartarini, Italjet's president and a leading Italian motorcycle designer. "The European motorcycle is still made with heart; it's still endowed with human qualities." In a swipe at the Japanese, he added, "When something is too perfect, you tire of it." If Harley-Davidson, with its lumbering cruisers, is the Cadillac of motorcycles, and Honda and Yamaha are, well, the Honda and Toyota, the Italians want to become the Ferraris and Porsches. Glenn Brieton buys that. "People who own them, love them," said Brieton, an audiovisual systems specialist from Lake George, N.Y., who owns two Guzzis. He became hooked on Italian motorcycles, he explained, while serving in the American Army in Italy, and bought his first Guzzi secondhand in 1989 for less than $2,000. Five years later, he picked up a second. "One of the appealing factors for a guy like me," he said, "is that they go up in value." A 1970's Guzzi in mint condition can fetch $20,000 or more. But, he added, "mainly, it's the way to go to be a little bit different." Greg L. Salchow, who follows the motorcycle industry at Roney Capital Markets in Detroit, said enthusiasts like Brieton gave the Italians an entree. "There's always going to be a certain group of people who want the real thing," he said. Ducati and Guzzi, he added, enjoy relatively strong name recognition, while lesser-known companies like Aprilia and Italjet would have to struggle harder. "You'd have to be a very dedicated enthusiast to even know them," he said. The long-term challenge for the Italians, said Guilfoyle of the Guggenheim, will be to attract young riders and keep the affluent market rolling when the baby boomers step off their bikes. The same challenge, of course, faces Harley-Davidson, he said, whose "buyers are old, an average 40 years old." Moto Guzzi says its Jackal is aimed mainly at young riders. "The Jackal project leader is 31 years old," said Poggio, who is 38. "Our bet is to satisfy the hard core of Guzzi buyers, and draw new customers. The Jackal is definitely aimed at the young." Ducati is investing $15 million to $20 million a year, about 70 percent of it in product development, Minoli said. Emulating fashion houses, Ducati is trying to build a cult around its chief designer, Pierre Terblanche, a former Volkswagen designer who learned motorcycle design from Massimo Tamburini, creator of some of Ducati's greatest models, including the 916 Superbike. But to realize their American ambitions, said Salchow, the analyst, the near-term challenge will be less spectacular -- distribution. "They are not even in a lot of markets, except for small specialty shops," he said. "They need more models, more apparel." Ducati's long-term goal is to have 200 exclusive stores globally. And the company is investing heavily to speed production. "The first thing is to crank out as many as you can," Minoli said. "I don't believe in scarcity" as a marketing device to maintain Ducati's exclusive image. From 20 motorcycles a day in 1996, when Texas Pacific bought in, production at Ducati has risen to 170, creating 350 new jobs, which were so hard to fill in the full-employment area around Bologna that Ducati had to retrain women textile workers from a local lingerie manufacturer. In the United States, Minoli said, Ducati has two constituencies: "people really serious about motorcycling, whose interest trickles down from racing, and the people who want a little of everything," adding, "They will have their Porsche -- and their Ducati."

After negotiating a 5 MPH left hand hairpin turn on the group ride I managed to catch my front end in some gravel / soft dirt with the front brake engaged. I probably was going about 1 MPH when the front end washed out. Damage: Some very minor paint scratches on the left lower fairing and some paint removed from the engine side case. Some rubbing compound and some gloss black VHT paint will make it look like new again. There is no doubt in my mind that the frame and bar end sliders prevented any serious damage. I believe they cost me around $60.00 total. I hate to think what a new lower fairng would have cost!!! I believe I sprained my knee and ankle when the bike fell om me. I also bruised my left elbow. I don't believe my injuries are very serious, and I hope to attend another group ride soon. Lastly, I want to thank those riders who assisted me in righting my bike. Their carefullness certainly prevented further damage. Roy D. Turner, Esq.

Caplan" Subject: Group ride, section B To: DC-Cycles MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Wow, we had about 17 bikes and riders show up at McD's this morning. After the standard briefing "Ride your own ride, yadda yadda yadda" we split into two groups. About 12 people went with Collin for the more aggressive A group (their leader popping a wheelie on the way out), and 5 people were with me for the assertive B group. :-) After about 20 minutes, we caught up with the A group. I thought someone went down because they were all standing around and traffic was backed up. But turns out there was an accident further ahead. Once my heart started beating again, traffic started moving too. But the way we were supposed to go was blocked off. Collin got directions from a police officer there, and I road more aggressively to be sure to keep his group in sight. Once we were back on track, I went back to merely assertive. Free State road, the left turn after Marshall, VA gave me a lot of grins. Twisty, and not too steep. We gathered up at Castiglios for lunch. The folks there knew the drill and put several tables together for us when we walked in. After lunch Collin had to go visit a friend, so Mike Jordan took over leading the agressive group. I don't know what happened to them from that point on. Jeanette's battery was giving her trouble, so the Zell's left. So in my assertive group, we had 3 folks left, me, Grant and Ursalina. The beginning of the ride went fine, but once we got on Blue Ridge Mountain Road, HOLY CRAP!!! The road had a lot of small gravel, almost like pebbles all over, mostly in the center of the lane!! My rear tire did a one foot horizontal slide! After that I rode at a slower pace until we got clear of the gravel. If you ride on 601, BE CAREFUL!!! >From there we headed into West Virginia, then East on Rt. 9. Some old dude in an old car went 35 mph in the 55 mph zone. The few times we had passing permitted, there was traffic coming the other way, and the rest of the time the road was too twisty for passing. Finally he pulled into a driveway, and I blasted away before slowing up a little to let the other two catch up. Geeze! >From Rt. 9, we got onto Rt. 7, back to Sterling and dispursed. All in all it was a good ride. Sorry to hear Roy had some trouble. Was it on Rt. 601, or were there other trouble spots?

Kinda weird to see Ducati doing the yuppie-shmooze marketing crap, but I guess that's what it takes to remain competitive. Speaking of Ducati's, my wife was driving here in Arlington last weekend and found herself behind a rider outfitted in full leathers (like mine) on a red motorcycle with the "muffler coming out under the seat." Her next remark was: "His 'chicken stripes' were wider than yours." (She's not into bikes _at all_ so I thought that was kinda cute :) Hope everyone had a great riding day today. JK N.B. I thought I'd just throw out a heads-up for some you who are compulsive about planning your summer. I seem to remember reading more than a few posts recently concerning July plans. My "2nd Annual DC-Cycles Party" is scheduled for the last Saturday in July - yep, right when it's the steamiest here in the DC area! - and which falls on the 31st, I believe.

It's probably true that Banzai's "random phone in customer prices" are better than The Dirt Shop's "random drive up customer" prices. However, after building a relationship with the shop they now give me prices that beat anything else, and sometimes they sell me stuff at cost. There are indeed good reasons to get comfy with your local shop...

My 1996 Savage LS650 is For Sale. The Bike is in Columbia, MD (Maryland). I am the second owner, I purchsed it with only 300 miles on the odometer, and it currently has a little more than 4000 miles on it . It comes with some extras: A Pro-tac Driver backrest, a Supertrapp Muffler, Cobra Drag Bar with Suzuki OEM Handlebar risers. Plus I still have the original equipment; handlebars, muffler, etc. There are links to an article I wrote about it on my homepage (Warning the page UGLY!!!) that has pictures of the Savage with the Supertrapp, but not with the handlebars. The address is www.erols.com/picton The Savage is in great shape. The only difference between it and a new one is that crome pipe is a little gold in places. It runs great, looks great, the motor is in good shape - the oil was changed every 1500 miles. It would be a really good bike for a beginner or a smaller rider. It has classic styling and would be a great addition to anyone's collection. Why am I selling it??? I recently traded my Honda in for a 1999 Vstar 1100 a much bigger bike. Which will suit my crusier riding needs a little better than the Savage. I am 6 ft tall and little over 200lbs so the Savage was a little small (Also, trying to ride two up on it with my wife was a little cramped). Plus the new Vstar will give me a longer crusing radius, it has a much bigger gas tank than the Savage. I still love the bike, and part of me doesn't really want ot sell it, but I figure between by VStar 1100 and the Yamaha SR500 (another single cyclinder bike) that I am restoring as a race/street bike, I won't have a lot of time for it. I got the Savage for a good price, but I have put a lot of extras into it. The price is $2850 which I think is a good price when you consider a new one (stock) goes for $4199. If anyone is interested, I can be contacted at picton@XXXXXX or by phone at 410-290-8681.

Do you lube it frequently (every 400 miles or so) and how much slack was in it before it broke? I've never had one break before - not something I want to happen! Took a 200 mile ride today through the Shenandoah mountains in VA. Besides one very ppor road choice (loose gravel, downhill, hairpin turns) we had a great time. I am far from squidly, but I did get a chance to open the bike up a bit on one bit of slab. The wind tends to whip a bit at (indicated) 130, but the bike is solid as a rock. A MC cop in Leesburg scared the crap out of me and ZMan (FZR 600) when he rolled up and motioned us to the side of the road. We complied, and he handed me a flyer for a poker run in June. I told him he scared the crap out of me...he just laughed. I took the opportunity and had him pace me at 50Mph to check the speedo. I registered 55....Z registered 40!

This was just a few minutes after we'd passed a couple cars on a downhill and we were still going downhill and well over the speed limit when they pulled us over. Obviously, by going 65mph downhill we were impeding auto traffic... I'd have rather gotten a speeding ticket. That was the last time I went on Skyline Drive.

It was a great time, I will be reminded of it for the next week if my body today is any indication! :) It sucks getting old. To the list, if you ever get a chance, go ride on some dirt every once in a while, it has carry over to the road and it is just plain fun! I guess I will be keeping the DR (getting a knobby on back) and waiting on the race bike for at least another year. I figured one day on the dirt would help me remember how much I enjoy it and make the decision to sell the "dirt toy" to buy a "race toy" easier. Now to stay away from Summit so I don't get that in my system again... oh wait... they are racing this weekend; I'm going; Looks like the bug will stay with me until I can get it fixed. (Hopefully next Spring / Summer). On that note: WHO's going to the races this weekend? Let's set up a ride up and get a group together!

I'm gearing up for the Cap 1000 (i.e., installed new seat, interfaced a radar detector into my Autocom). --- intro off --- Skyline Drive doesn't make a lot of sense as a motorcycle road from the start when you have to pay to get on it. Speeds are low both from enforcement and traffic. Worse still, the drivers have declared themselves to be intentionally hazardous by taking a route which will have them paying primary attention to the view rather than the road. Finally, although the curves are okay, more often than not you're stuck behind a crawling RV while the only diversion is to read the fascinating bumper stickers about the joys of retirement. Meanwhile, much nicer roads surround the area. Pick up any map, find a twisty road within 5 miles of SLD, or ones that cross it, and take it. If you need more help, get Dale Coyner's book "Motorcycle Journey's through the Appalachians." Interestingly, even the Blue Ridge Parkway is dramatically nicer, 30% faster, and less crowded.

Yep, just getting out on dirt roads with your street bike has skills value. For humor value, I think I may bring my video camera with me next time out.

Bastard cops have a substation 1/4 mi from my house. I call my street "I wish I could speed here" Well, I'm ready for the track again. Sadly, its in my car.

They should be fairly pathetic, but I _am_ running race rubber, good brakes, and much car engine/suspension mods. I'm gonna try the adjustable shocks to about 1/2 or 2/3 stiffness, because the race tires have the most _ridiculously_ stiff sidewall. Do you MC racers have to 'heat treat' your tires? I dont think I recall reading about people doing this to 207GP or Azarros.. And, how long does it take you guys to break in a new set of rotors/pads?

Not surprisingly, this will be held on Monday, May 31st. I was thinking of a 3-4 hour ride, ending back at my house by 1-2 pm, followed by your typical Memorial Day menu. I'll provide the sodas, grill, hamburgers, hotdogs and chicken.. maybe people could bring some side dishes or desserts. Unfortunately my townhouse is too small for a full "invite everyone you know" dc-cycles bash, but there is plenty of room for some post-ride festivities. I live in Sterling, right up the street from the NOVA Loudoun Campus off of Rte 7. I'd probably start the ride from my house as well, in case people need to drop stuff off beforehand. Anyhow, I've been wanting to stir up the neighborhood a bit, and figure Memorial Day is as good a reason as any. I don't really have anything against my neighbors, btw, but they seem to spend way too much time keeping track of what I'm doing. So, if I can get 15- 20 bikes parked out front of my house for an afternoon, that should keep them occupied for quite a while! :-) If you think you'd like to attend, please drop me a quick note so I'll have an idea of the headcount. I'll post more specifics as we get closer to the date. Thanks!

Since one of the regulars had to bail last year and hasn't seen the Gap, that's our highlight destination. This isn't the planned, mapped event that the dc-cycles ride was last year; rather, we'd like to link up and ride with anyone along the route or in the area (Baltimore), with planned meeting points two or three times a day, instead of monitoring a "group" of riders, allowing each to find his/her own pace enroute. We will generally have cell phones and voice mail where messages can be left for one another in case of changes in plan, roadside trouble, or whatever. We're in this more for the ride than the destination, though we're tossing around the idea of slabbing it a bit on the way down to get to the Gap on Friday instead of Saturday, hoping to avoid the weekend press of riders, such as it may be. We'll probably camp in designated sites, though we may split motel rooms in a pinch. That's the plan so far -- please drop me a line with interest or questions.

The wheel makes the same number of revolutions no matter where you put the magnet/sensor. Since the thing is just counting revolutions and doing the math with your tire diameter, you can put the magnet/sensor where ever it's convenient.

The computer simply knows how far around the wheel has gone with one revolution once you've entered in the circumference of the tire, it just expects that you've traveled 1xcircumference with each revolution. Keep in mind, though, that you'll need to mount the sensor and the magnet in the same direction for the sensor to read the magnet correctly. I.E. if you put the sensor pointing north and south, don't put the magnet on pointing west and east. A physics side note: any individual spot on a rotating radius will rotate the same number of revolutions for a given time as any other spot on the radius. The spots on the radius that are closer to the center of the wheel will simply travel more slowly than those on the outer end of the radius to make up for the decreased distance they have to travel to complete the rotation. If you look at a wheel rotating, the closer to the center of the wheel you look, the slower the wheel will seem to be moving. Watch 2001: A Space Odyssey for a good example of this. Confused yet? Chris Weaver My question though is this... Does it matter where you place the sensor in relation to the wheel? Here's a better way of putting it...

This is a full military service, so plan on being there awhile, but it is a very impressive tribute. So far I have been unable to get in touch with family members to ask about motorcycles in the procession, but the funeral director didn't think the family would object. The motorcycle is the only way many knew Hank, and I think he would be disappointed in us if we missed a chance to RIDE.
